• Why are there networks costing $0? Do they cost too little to list because of the scale of the data, or are they bundled in with other networks? Maybe they're free for a reason.
• How did ESPN become such an outlier? Comparing numbers from years past, maybe there's a story of ESPN's rise to the most expensive network.
• Do customers find this much value in ESPN programming? Also, what's behind these cost breakdowns? Why do they cost what they do?
