Say whatever you want, live sports will dominate viewership beyond the foreseeable future. And if Disney is this serious about moving towards streaming and focusing on making their Disney+ app as successful as possible and then moving away from live broadcasting, then there will be other people out there ready and willing to add this last bastion of valuable live media content. If Amazon or Apple wants to get into sports, why not just go acquire ESPN, and have loads of content right there for the streaming? That makes more sense than Amazon trying to get the PAC 12 on Prime TV. If everything is moving towards streaming and live sports is still lucrative, what’s better than acquiring the premier sports “streamer” in ESPN? Especially if it’s a leaned down ESPN after all of these massive cuts by Iger.
