Wave of the future?

I'm sure most of you don't know, but Nick Underhill has become THE go-to guy for New Orleans Saints news. He runs a subscription service for Saints fans. Triplett is a former beat writer at the Picayune and has been with ESPN reporting on things Saints and NFL for almost a decade.
Apparently, things are going well enough for Nick at his one-man company, that he is becoming a two-man company.
The Saints are a small market team, so I can only imagine the interest of sports fans in a bigger market. Is this type of niche subscription service going to eventually replace or at least eat into the revenue of broader based sports news?

Niche? ESPN is putting most of their better analysis behind a paywall. So does Football Outsiders and PFF…

But those services are pretty broad-based or have talent covering each franchise in a sport.
These guys are paying house and car notes, writing about a small market team.
