If ESPN is what people want to pay for, why can't they just jack up the price of ESPN instead of making Disney+?

- matwood 7y agoESPN is not what people want to pay for. Nearly every cable subscription included ESPN, and core cutting has greatly cut ESPN revenue.
- cookiecaper 7y agoDisney was (and presumably still is) collecting tens of dollars per month for every cable subscription that has access to ESPN (the number I remember reading was something like $23 but that may be incorrect). Since ESPN is included in most cable subscriptions, virtually every cable subscription cancelled is an immediate revenue loss for TWDC.
