Fox Corp., Warner Bros. Discovery and Disney are set to launch a new streaming joint venture that will put all of their sports assets under a single broadband roof, a move that will put ESPN, TNT and Fox Sports on a new standalone app and, in the process, likely shake up the world of TV sports.

The three media giants are slated to launch the new service in the fall.

More to come…

Crazy

That’s insane. I guess they’re like why fight and teamup instead.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Cuz Disney and WBD already have streaming they could add their sports to. It’s really Fox out in the cold.

It leads to so many questions but surely this is good for AEW's neg rights?

Definitely but I’m hoping AEW goes to max. I’m not buying a sports app.

This app seems like it's going to be available for subscribers of the current service. I could see ESPN+ dissolving into this entirely. Then just add the Warner and Fox sports content to it

I think they see AEW as sports so hopefully it'll just blend ya . might have UFC and AEW on the same app which is mads weird lol

 

[Kross Rhodes]

OK good because as long as I don’t have to pay extra, this will be great because I have both Max and Disney+.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Also Hulu.

I feel like UFC is leaving ESPN in a year or so whenever that's up but at the same time they have a crazy sweet deal so maybe not

If Warner doesn't consider AEW sports they don't really have a lot of content to offer to have a third of this app tbh they'd be lagging even including AEW

Would make sense to have WWE and UFC together. At least internationally.

They have some of the most sought after NBA games, but yeah, not much else
