In a move that’s probably a few years too late, Disney announced Tuesday that it will launch an ESPN streaming service free from any cable or satellite service. In other words, the day is coming when you can simply pay for most, if not all, ESPN content without also paying for 200 other channels that you might or might not ever watch. I can hear some of you celebrating.
That said, are we ready for the brave new world of streaming? Brandon Larrabee is worried that by atomizing streaming, we’re going to end up paying more for everything.
