Disney Caves and Prepares to Stream ESPN
So why is this ESPN news seismic, an inflection point? Two reasons…
First, it’s a surrender to reality — cable TV is dying.
Second, making ESPN available as a standalone streaming service will accelerate the death of cable TV. Millions likely subscribe to cable TV just to get ESPN. But now, instead of paying $180 a month for ESPN through cable TV, they will pay $30 per month to stream ESPN—which hurts Disney elsewhere.
