ESPN Announces Planned Streaming Service

UNITED STATES – ESPN is going all in on streaming, officially announcing plans to launch a new service that will carry everything its traditional TV channels offer, and more.

For $29.99 a month or $299.99 a year, ESPN says subscribers will get full access to live sports, and even betting and fantasy sports features, all inside an upgraded ESPN app.

A cheaper, limited version will go for $11.99 a month, and bundle deals with Disney+ and Hulu will also be available.

The move comes as ESPN’s parent company, Disney, tries to reach younger audiences and stay competitive in a market increasingly shifting away from cable.
