ESPN says its new streaming service has passed 1 million subscribers
Posted in: Uncategorized
Walt Disney Co. said its new ESPN+ streaming service passed 1 million paid subscribers in the first five months, in line with other new streaming businesses.
The service, which costs $5 a month, is an crucial test of Disney’s efforts to establish a direct link to consumers at a time when more people are watching TV on demand through smartphones and other mobile devices. ESPN+ offers thousands of hours of live programming, including professional hockey, baseball and soccer, as well as college sports that aren’t available on ESPN’s main cable networks.
ESPN also says signed-in subscribers to ESPN+ won’t see display ads or pre- or post-roll video ads anywhere on ESPN.com or the ESPN app.
