New streaming service courts cord-cutting sports fans
And now, more on that new sports streaming service.
The joint venture from Fox, Disney's ESPN and Warner Bros. Discovery is a major-league play for sports fans who are cord-cutters and cord-nevers, meaning they no longer subscribe to a traditional pay-TV bundle or never did, Jessica Guynn reports.
The idea, according to Disney CEO Bob Iger, is to deliver a cheaper alternative to traditional cable for viewers who want to watch a full slate of sports. The typical "big bundle" cable television service runs upwards of $100 a month. This "skinny bundle" would be cheaper. How much cheaper, we don't know just yet. Read the story.
