ESPN+ (ESPN Plus, sports streaming service)

... ESPN- to me: ESPN’s streaming service, ESPN+, to launch April 12

The lineup will offer thousands of live sports events, such as:

big list of random sports events where you can't really follow the teams you root for

It'll also have that "on-demand" stuff that's most likely news and not sports.

Here's the punch line:

In February, the company further confirmed access to ESPN’s 8 TV channels, like ESPN and ESPN2, would still require a pay TV subscription.

... anyone interested in paying disney another $5 on top of a cable subscription? This looks tone deaf and bound-to-fail.

You don't get ESPN, like the channels ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, or (say) SEC network if you're a cord cutter. You get limited content of their choosing.

They basically took the ESPN3 programming(through the WatchESPN app) of a bunch of random shit that was free before, expanded on the amount of random shit and now make you pay for it.
