I don't think ESPN+ is going to take over America anytime soon.

MLB.tv has around 4 million subscribers and that's with the baseball fan in Chicago unable to watch the Cubs or White Sox on MLB.tv. The fan in Connecticut can't see the Red Sox, Yankees or Mets. Fans in Arkansas and Oklahoma can't watch any game involving the Cardinals, Rangers, Royals, or Astros.

We really don't know what streaming sports can do.

ESPN+ Rolls out on April 12
Question: Will the content from ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPNU also be on ESPN+?

No. To get those, you still need a cable log in I believe.

RE: ESPN+ Rolls out on April 12
My previous predictions regarding ESPN+ programming:

Quote:- An NBA out of market game of the day similar to Yahoo!'s package with the NHL and MLB.
- More soccer, probably international leagues like Mexico and Italy.
- International sports with small but devoted followings like cricket and rugby.
https://csnbbs.com/thread-842764-post-15...id15073538

On my first prediction, I was wrong about the NBA, but right about the strategy. Instead of copying the Yahoo! MLB and NHL packages, they bought them.

Second prediction, wrong for now. It may be that none of these rights were currently available.

Third prediction, absolutely correct.

I am actually impressed at what ESPN has pulled off here. It seems like a good value proposition for many sports fans.

Yep , which is pretty much most of the games.

In FB I think the MAC is about 50/50 linear with its ESPN offerings. However ESPN3 will continue to produce games free of charge.

Its going to be stuff that is self produced moving there.
I have seen it written that the ESPN deals with the MAC and SBC called for the conferences to cover production costs for the games from the money they receive for the contract and the contracts specify how many games are required to be produced (X amount for linear and X amount for streaming). Are you saying that is not the case?

MLB.TV is also one of the more expensive streaming services too.

I think ESPN+ press release say they are going to charge $25/month for it. I know you can buy a whole season for about $10/month if you pay in full upfront and early, even less if you have a student or military discount. They even have special one day sales throughout the year, like on father's day, where you can get the rest of the season with an very generous discount.

I would think most MLB.TV subscribers pay annually though, so I don't know how much more room there is for growth on that spectrum as the amount of people who are willing to fork out over $100 up front for out of market, regular season baseball will be limited. Paying monthly would make MLB.TV more expensive than Sling Orange which includes ESPN and Turner networks for sports.

And also highly limited in who wants it. The millions in NYC can't watch Yankees or Mets. The millions in LA cannot watch Dodgers or Angels. Much of the south cannot watch the Braves much or the Midwest cannot watch the Cardinals.

It is by design very much a niche product aimed at the displaced fan or the rare person who just wants to see every baseball game, it is not a mass market product.

MLB.tv is cheap compared to NHL Gamecenter. Expensive compared to MLS Direct Kick.

You can add on MLB.TV in the ESPN plus app for $25/month. MLB.TV is arguably the most expensive streaming service out there. So for it to have 4M subscribers at $120/year or $25/month is very very good. However, I wonder what its cap is without sacrificing the big money national TV contracts and/or getting rid of in market blackouts.

I didn't realize NHL Game Center cost more per season than MLB.TV and the same price per month.

Exactly. Think of it more as ESPN selling the content they used to give away for free on ESPN3.

Yep. Talking about ESPN+, there is other content which might be interesting. Linda Cohn and Barry Melrose with an NHL highlight show every night. All of the 30 for 30s. ESPN FC (the soccer show that used to be on ESPNews).

What will be interesting is if ESPN places softball and baseball regional coverage on ESPN+. There will be a lot of outcry from people if that happens. They have the Bases Loaded coverage for both on digital cable and DirecTV, but people want more.

I don't think people would complain if the college baseball and softball tournaments get additional coverage on ESPN+ above the games that are already shown on ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU. In fact, it would be a good use of ESPN+ to provide coverage for all of the regional games not shown on ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU. OTOH if the coverage on the "cable" ESPN channels is drastically cut back and those games moved to ESPN+, then some people would grumble.

OTOH if the coverage on the "cable" ESPN channels is drastically cut back and those games moved to ESPN+, then some people would grumble.

More than grumble. I bet a LOT of ESPN subscribers are like me, very keen to see what content is shifted from what we currently get with our purchase of the ESPN cable channels to "+", as that would represent a reduction of content without a commensurate cut in price.

I have some issue with ESPN signing up or creating new content and putting it on "+", but not much of one because I was never getting that to begin with. But shifting stuff that was already included in my cable bill to "+" is another matter entirely.
