ESPN wants to be the hub of all live sports streaming — even if it helps its competition
Publishing timestamp: 2023-03-02 14:04:34
Summary
ESPN has held conversations with major sports leagues and media partners about launching a feature on ESPN.com and its free ESPN app that would link users directly to where live sporting event is streaming. Disney is less focused on gaining streaming subscribers and eyeballs at all costs and is emphasizing licensing content to rival streaming services to increase revenue. There is no timeline on when the feature would launch.
