Warner, Fox, Disney to Launch Streaming Sports Joint Venture

It’s a game-changer.
Fox Corp., Warner Bros. Discovery and Disney are set to launch a new streaming joint venture that will make all of their sports programming available under a single broadband roof, a move that will put content from ESPN, TNT and Fox Sports on a new standalone app and, in the process, likely shake up the world of TV sports.
The three media giants are slated to launch the new service in the fall. Subscribers would get access to linear sports networks including ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SECN, ACCN, ESPNEWS, ABC, Fox, FS1, FS2, BTN, TNT, TBS, truTV and ESPN+. Pricing will be announced at a later date.
Each company would own one third of the new outlet and license their sports content to it on a non-exclusive basis. The service would have a new brand and an independent management team. The concept surfaces as traditional media companies are grappling with the migration of sports — the last TV format that generates steady crowds and sustained ratings — to streaming venues.

Can they ever make streaming as "live" as cable or over the air? That's the only thing I care about. Can't stand streaming games 2 minutes behind live action.

So, a cable company. Back to the future

I have boomer Comcast and my NFL playoff feeds have been at least a minute behind real-time.

You can't shitpost in game threads while streaming. The only time I've seen streaming as fast as cable or over the air was the fox sports app during the 2022 world cup.

I’m sure this will be exorbitantly expensive

So Hulu, but for only sports, and NBCU is the odd man out this time.

Very interesting.
Depends on the pricing and if they can get CBS and NBC onboard.

There’s no telling what this will cost. I wouldn’t think a penny less than $50 a month.

That feels right but also too expensive at the same time. A lot of people just have cable (including YTV) for watching sports. If they get the pricing right, I have to believe there will be a good amount of subscribers that would do it.

You know, you can get those channels over the air for free with rabbit ears.
If this service is around what I am paying for YouTube TV $60/month or lower…than I am in. All I watch is sports and regular YouTube for my viewing.

This + Internet would be all I need. Would say goodbye to Youtube TV at that point. I barely watch NFL enough as it is.

I know but you can't get their sports networks and if you aren't near a tv and have a device you can still watch them if they were on this streaming service.

The business gurus on CNBC said their guess is $30-$40.

The one thing that I don’t like about watching sports on a streaming app is it is difficult to flip between games. If I want to flip to another game it takes awhile for the stream to load or is difficult to navigate in the app.

Game changer if that is the cost.

If they have the multi view screens like YouTube TV would fix that.

So if ESPN+ is moving to a separate app, Disney's going to drop the price on their bundle, right?
Right?
Right?

Antitrust lawyers’ antenna up..

If it’s 30-40 bucks, that is competitive.
Rabbit ears have been strange. I set up an antenna at my parents’ house because of the absurd situation between NBC and DirecTV, and while NBC and Fox come out perfectly fine, ABC and CBS don’t show up.
I’m not sure why, and since they have DirecTV, it doesn’t matter. But it’s something strange I’ve noticed.
