Warner, Fox, and Disney to create shared sports streaming network

Just in time for NBA contract negotiations this year. Most of the sports you want on one service.

That seems like the kind of streaming service that could best monetize the NBA games, and it might actually be worth shelling out $15-$20 a month for.

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+, as well as hundreds of hours from the NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL and many top college divisions. Pricing will be announced at a later date.

We're slowly morphing right back to the cable model, just online instead.

Interesting part to me is that this is basically youtubetv. So will they pull content from youtubetv?

Lol at you thinking that it will be that cheap.
This is not a good thing. You basically have three major sports entities creating a monopoly sports streaming service.

YTTV, Fubo and Hulu Live already brought us back to that.
And it's a million times better than having to deal with a cable box or having to piece together five different streaming services to watch on demand content.

Agreed. I don’t like this at all. I have YouTube TV, Bally’s app, and internet and all that totals about $200 a month as it is.

I get what you're saying, but Amazon gives away Thursday Night Football and Warner was talking about charging $10 a month for the Turner sports on Max. None of the entertainment streaming services cost much more than $20 and Amazon, Apple and Netflix are all looking at adding sports content.
quote:
Netflix. Monthly fee: Up to $22.99. ...
Hulu (No Ads) Monthly fee: $17.99. ...
Max (Ultimate Ad-Free) Monthly fee: $19.99. ...
Disney+ (No Ads) Monthly fee: $13.99. ...
Paramount+ (No Ads, Includes Showtime) Monthly fee: $11.99. ...
Peacock (No Ads) Monthly fee: $11.99. ...
Netflix has 80 million subscribers in the US. YouTubeTV and Hulu Live TV have combined 12.5 million subscribers.
80m x $22 = $1.76 Billion.
12.5m x $65 = $812 million
I'm being a little fast and loose with the numbers I'm comparing, it's not quite Apples to Apples, but I think the basic point stands. If they think they are competing with cable and linear streamers, they won't grow as big as if they see themselves competing with entertainment streamers. If they want to really succeed it needs to be closer to $20 than $50.

But with this merger, you get the entire ESPN linear catalogue which includes nationally televised MLB/NBA/NFL/NCAA, ESPN+'s catalogue which is pretty much every college sporting event, PGA events, a shite ton of soccer leagues and more. You get Fox Sports' catalogue which gives you local NFL, more college football and big events like the World Cup. And then TNT which gives you more NBA.
It's now the clear giant of the sports streaming world, so competitive pricing goes completely out the window.
Like I've told you before, look what the NFL charged YTTV users for Sunday Ticket. That's what non-competitive pricing gets you when the company knows it has the consumer by the balls. This new thing is going to charge more than Bally's ridiculous $20/month.

While no price has been set, I'm told a logical starting price point for this could be $45-$50 per month by a person familiar with the matter.

Zero chance they pull this from YTTV and those types of streaming devices so for those who have YTTV, I'm not sure how this changes anything? You just keep using YTTV.
They'd lose a shite ton of money doing this and pulling from the other major players.

$50 is still better than $75 that all the streaming cables are now. I buy it for sports, not to digitally stream gold rush and lifetime movies.

Whatever you say, Ms. Kennedy

Yeah, I think we should wait a bit before we all jump up and celebrate. I could see this costing me more money every month
