The streaming solution or a waste of money? Every year seems to bring a new quasi-solution to the neverending morass of watching live sports on television. Where do I find this game? Is that streaming? Oh, didn’t you hear all those games are on [insert app] now? The cable bundle is dying, and no one has been able to actually replace it. Yesterday brought another “solution,” which could have a massive effect on the industry at large: ESPN, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery are teaming up to launch a new, stand-alone streaming app to air their combined content. Two initial questions, answered: Wait, what’s included? Every ESPN property and every Fox sports channel, plus Big Ten Network, TNT, TBS and even truTV. So, every essential sports channel outside of CBS, NBC and Amazon. How much will it cost? Unclear as of now. We’ll get to this in a sec.. So is this The Big One? Or is it just more of the same? I asked Andrew Marchand, The Athletic’s newest sports business and media reporter, to help us contextualize: This could be so impactful on multiple levels. What are the most important cascading effects of this, to you? Andrew: I think it feels impactful, but it is not actually going to be. At least in the near term. The reason? It will probably cost in the $50 range per month. You can basically receive everything it is offering [plus non-sports content] for $72 a month with YouTube TV. This might be a little simplistic, but: Are we just recreating cable? Andrew: That's the lede to my column, so good question. Yes and no. We are starting the Great Rebundling. There are combo deals everywhere, but we are not yet to a point that we are solving the sports fans’ problem of simplifying their viewing experience and doing it at an affordable price. This is a step in that direction, but further consolidation is needed. We are calling this The Great Rebundling from now on, by the way. See our full explainer here, and don’t miss Andrew’s upcoming column on the move.
