Another round of price increases is coming to Disney's streaming services.
"We believe that a sports-only streaming app is a tough model and that sports integrated in a general entertainment service a la Peacock or Paramount Plus makes more sense."
This is a tough sell, to be honest, even if there's an obvious motivation.
After a bunch of recent rights acquisitions involving ESPN+, parent corporation Disney is now raising the price for that service.
ESPN+ gained 300,000 net subscribers since the last earnings report in February, but a lot of that may be about the Disney+/Hulu/ESPN+ bundle.
