ESPN+ Streaming Service Is Coming
ESPN+ is a new streaming subscription service that will launch in 2018. Disney, the parent company of ESPN, announces that ESPN+ streaming service is coming and will be $4.99 per month.
ESPN+ Streaming Service Is Coming
For those of you who have waited and hoped for an ESPN stand-alone streaming channel, that is not ESPN+. ESPN+ will not provide coverage of the most popular sports now covered on ESPN such as NCAA football, NCAA basketball, NBA, and Monday Night Football.
ESPN+ will be a “plus” service addition to the regular ESPN programming. ESPN+ will include live programming that is not available on current ESPN channels. Look for ESPN+ to provide coverage of sports such as cricket, tennis, soccer, rugby, boxing, hockey, and some college sports.
Cord Cutters who want to watch the “big” sporting events on ESPN will still need a subscription to a streaming package service like Hulu, Sling TV, DirecTV Now, or fuboTV.
Disney the Streaming Media Giant
ESPN+ is only the beginning of an overall strategy by Disney to move into streaming services for Cord Cutters.
