Streaming OTT Service Launches Next Week
Subscribers will also be able to access an on-demand library, although it's not exactly clear what this will entail. ESPN+ will also be part of a redesigned ESPN app that will serve as an all-in-one digital sports destination.
The service will be available through an update to the ESPN app, which the company's president James Pitaro described as "completely re-imagined" and "increasingly personalized" in a statement on Monday.
The launch of the ESPN streaming platform precedes an even bigger new product from its parent conglomerate, a direct-to-consumer Disney-branded platform next year that will boast a deep well of Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm and Disney content and is poised to rival Netflix's (NFLX) and Amazon's (AMZN) respective video services.
Added Disney direct-to-consumer and global chairman Kevin Mayer, "The launch of ESPN+ marks the beginning of an exciting new era of innovation for our media businesses - one defined by an increasingly direct and personal relationship with consumers".
ESPN has announced they will be offering a brand new digital experience for users.
The service, which was announced by Disney CEO Bob Iger during an earnings call in November of a year ago and detailed in a post on ESPN's website today, will run you just $5 a month.
