Disney will offer a bundle package of its three streaming services, Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ for $12.99/month, beginning November 12th.

At $12.99 the bundle is cheaper than, or on par with competitive streaming services, including Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. It's also significantly cheaper than HBO Max's rumored streaming price of $16-$17 per month.

Hulu is currently available for $5.99 a month (with ads) and ESPN+ costs $4.99 a month.

Like most things having to do with this I'll wait until the day of the game and screw up whatever I'm trying to accomplish OR the service will be out when I need it so I'll have to watch the 'play by play' on ESPN game track.

Can't wait!

Walters and Heft plus Twitter for video of any big plays is increasingly my jam.

I wonder how many people they’re going to snag who don’t realize espn+ doesn’t include the espn channels that actually have the games they want to watch.

What does it include? I didn't even know it was a $5 a month option.

Among other things, all of the Big 12's Tier 3 content (minus OU and UT, who still have longer-term deals in place) will be on ESPN+ by the 2020-21 year.

Baylor, KU, KSU and OSU are on it starting this year.
ISU, TCU, Tech, and WVU will join in '20-21.

You missed it because it's not true. But they will have first rights to all the games that were on Cyclones.tv so it's likely Cyclones.tv isn't going to exist in a couple years

I've been subscribing to cyclones.tv from Sept-Feb for years now...so this year I'd need to do that but there's a chance I need some $5.00 ESPN+ or later on some $13 Disney+?

Will all the other content on cyclones.tv and things like wrestling be no more?

Are Disney classic movies expected to be on this? Or will it be the ****** ones?

I'm guessing they'll give people a ton until they crush the competition and then go back to glorifying the idea of a "vault" as if they're required to lock things up.

The vault is pretty much solely to keep copyrights going indefinitely

Live CyTV games (including Olympic sports) will move to ESPN+ starting Fall 2020. At that point, CyTV itself -- assuming it still exists -- will only have whatever content is left.

Yes, I think they've made a really bad choice. Or perhaps, they didn't have any choice and were told.
