ESPN has unveiled more details about it's streaming service in Disney's earnings call yesterday. The service will be called ESPN Plus, and will cost $4.99 a month when it launches this spring. ESPN Plus will be built in to ESPN's mobile app, which will be redesigned for the new service. The app will have three sections: Scores and News, live streaming via cable authentication, and ESPN Plus, confirming that ESPN Plus will not provide live streaming of ESPN's main channels.
Without offering live streaming of their main content, I can't see how this will be a success for ESPN. If I can't watch "The Ocho" on the go, I'm not subscribing.
Iger said the service will provide “an incremental thousands of hours of live sports programming” as well as new and existing original programming, including the entire 30 for 30 series.
