Fox, WB, Discovery & Disney Create New Sports Streaming Venture

Post by Shirley »

Service to be available to ESPN+, Hulu and Max subscribers

ESPN, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery plan to launch a joint sports streaming service later this year.

The platform, which will be owned by a newly formed company with its own leadership team, does not yet have a name or price.

The product will be a skinnier bundle of linear networks than a standard cable offering, specifically tailored for sports fans...

i’m guessing this means that if one already has any of those bundles, that they’ll be losing their current sports content and will have to pay extra to get said content back

In theory, this is great, if interests weren't solely on how to get more money.
But they are which means KUTrad is likely right.

Ideally, this would happen, and this channel would pick the bigger ticket sports, and give users the option to just subscribe to this, but allow users who wanted more to continue with what they were doing without loosing any content.

Not a fight I'm trying to pick here, and so I won't push back.

my cable bill + whatever streaming services we pay for = the equivalent of a car payment

so they won't be getting one more penny out of me.

I missed a number of KU's ESPN+ games this season.
Kinda nice break actually - especially when paired with all the Chiefs football.

Intentionally missing KU Basketball games isn't something I can relate to.

But you be you.

Sounds like you have a pretty sweet ride.

Do you make those payments weekly?
