ESPN, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery Announce Joint Sports Streaming Service

The new service aims to consolidate major sports broadcasts, but lacks key NFL and NCAA coverage.

ESPN, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery unveiled a joint venture for a sports streaming service, set to launch in late 2024.
The service will include a wide range of sports channels but will miss NFL games on CBS and NBC, and CBS’ NCAA Tournament coverage.
The Department of Justice and Fubo have raised concerns, with Fubo filing an antitrust lawsuit against the companies involved.
Industry experts see the service as a potential disruptor to traditional cable, but its success may depend on its pricing and the inclusion of major sports events.
The venture reflects broader trends in the streaming industry, including consolidation and the search for profitable business models.
