they should be talking about the Hulu, Disney, and HBO Max for $29.99 without ads or 16.99 with ads
Fellow sports-indifferent viewer here. There are bundles now that exclude ESPN. I have the one with Disney, Hulu and HBO Max.I wish they would stop shoving ESPN down our throats. For a long time Disney had an insane carriage agreement where basic cable subscribers were essentially subsidizing ESPN, but now that cable has collapsed, they’re trying to force it into their streaming bundles. The rest of us should not be forced to subsidize sports.
I pay like $3 a month for Hulu and Disney combined.... so glad I don't like sports...
That's the price of two movies out each month, if you don't get any food at the theater. Yeesh.30 bucks for entertainment? How can americans afford paying this price after their living costs for everyday essentials ent through the roof? 😂
same promos they run every Black Friday. I've had $1 Hulu for like 6 or 7 years now and $2 Disney add on for the last few.You mind saying how (or anyone else chime in?)?
My Disney promo ended recently and I let it expire. Told the kids this week I would see what new offers there may be. The best I can see so far is by adding it to my Verizon perk thingy for $10 a month. It used to be included in my Verizon plan, but my last upgrade to make the iPhone 16 pro free meant moving to a diff data plan that didn’t include the Disney perk.
You mean free TV? Not paying for free TV here… because it‘s ad-funded.but in the old cable TV/satellite TV world you had no choice but to pay for ads ...
Yep. The house always wins.Back to Cable bundles and prices. Sigh.
It’s quite the opposite though, ESPN is keeping the company afloat and they’re trying to push Disney+ on people who wants ESPN + Hulu.I wish they would stop shoving ESPN down our throats.

I have no câble since 2002 and I Watch only I put the subsciptions on my Friends brother and I have an under 26 year old sub with Canal + $22 with Apple TV, hbo+, Paramount +, all the canal + Chanel and love tv before he had Disney + inside but they wanted too much and stop to work with canal +, so bye Disneybut in the old cable TV/satellite TV world you had no choice but to pay for ads ...
So I take it you do not watch any TV at all? good for you
Back when Disney was able to shoehorn ESPN into everyone’s basic cable packages, it was a money printing proposition. Now that that arrangement has essentially collapsed, the network has become far more costly, with Disney continuing to have to shell out massive sums to broadcast various sports leagues without the same guaranteed revenue.It’s quite the opposite though, ESPN is keeping the company afloat and they’re trying to push Disney+ on people who wants ESPN + Hulu.
Sports is the only thing keeping these companies afloat.
debt =/= disposable income.Go to nice restaurants on a Friday night and see how many people seem to have plenty of disposable income despite what you hear otherwise.
thanks for alerting me to this. i pay $30/mo for hulu and $210/yr for hbo max. calling to threaten cancelling to try to switch to this deal. gonna save me close to half of what i pay a year.they should be talking about the Hulu, Disney, and HBO Max for $29.99 without ads or 16.99 with ads
arrrg, matey. the best streams for sports be floatin' east, me boy.There is ESPN (cable) and ESPN+ (subscription sports). Even with the subscription EPSN+, local blackout rules in effect for your sport are still in effect. We pay ESPN+ for about 6-7 months a year for NHL. Almost all the games are there except for a few that, for some reason, are on other networks. The app sort of sucks as there is no way to prioritize your sport (Hockey, for instance), and one has to sift through every freaking sport to find your content.
ESPN Unlimited is, I believe, a combo ESPN and ESPN+. It's cheaper for us than NHL Center Ice ever was, so it's a good value.
