📡 📺 ESPN's DTC this fall. (ESPN Unlimited 9/21: $29.99 mth.) FOX joins the bundle for $10 more a month

[TerryP]

The Fox/ESPN/Warner Brothers compilation costs about as much as Sling, right? I don't know. They are saying they anticipate this package to be around $40.

this is right up my alley... I hate paying for tv that I don't watch, and the only tv I watch is football... everything else is on Prime, netflix, or youtube. Where do I sign up? lol

Latest I've found:

ESPN is launching a new streaming service this fall, with an "unlimited" plan priced at $29.99 per month or $299.99 annually. This plan will grant access to all of ESPN's linear networks (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SECN, ACCN, ESPNews, ESPN Deportes), as well as ESPN on ABC, ESPN+, ESPN3, SECN+, and ACCNX. It will also include on-demand replays, studio shows, and original programming. Additionally, there will be a "select" plan, essentially a rebrand of the existing ESPN+, for $11.99 per month or $119.99 annually.

Key features of the ESPN Unlimited plan:

• Access to all ESPN linear networks: This includes live feeds of ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SECN, ACCN, ESPNews, and ESPN Deportes.
  
  
• Content from ESPN on ABC, ESPN+, ESPN3, SECN+, and ACCNX: This provides a wide range of live and on-demand content.
  
  
• 47,000 live events annually: This extensive library of live sports is a major draw for sports fans.
  
  
• On-demand replays, studio shows, and original programming: This ensures that subscribers can catch up on missed games or enjoy behind-the-scenes content.
  
  
• Bundling options with Disney+ and Hulu: Subscribers can opt for bundles with Disney+ and Hulu at discounted rates, including a special introductory offer.
  

How it compares to other options:

• Select plan (rebranded ESPN+):
  .
  This plan focuses on the content previously available on ESPN+ and is aimed at existing ESPN+ subscribers.

It looks like if you have the ESPN package, you're getting it all.

 

[footballer]

Yeah, even the rock skipping contest that I saw coming on several days ago. I decided not to watch.

Dont make the dog a better pet

If this goes as proposed it'll be a better fall.

When it comes to TV channels, movies, etc., ESPN's family is the ONLY one that has proven a little difficult to find open source streams. So, it's been YTTV for me the last two fall/spring seasons at what...a little under $100?

Four months, $280 or so bucks I won't spend...damn good looking dog if you ask me!!!

NOW! The UI is the next question! People can )(*& up some apps; easily.

Bottom line here, ol man. If you are following college football—yes, this excludes FOGS—and you don't keep cable/ESPN/satellite running all year you'll want to have access to ESPN by the 23rd of this month. Iowa State vs Kansas State at noon that Saturday: ISU has the ability to make a few waves in the B1G.

I'd say definitely by the 29th and I'm not talking about the Auburn vs Baylor game: Georgia Tech could make some waves in the ACC.

There are some good, seasons "shake up" games, just in the first 20 or so games of this season.

Orgs spreading their content across multiple subscriptions is disgusting. I have never pirated, but will consider it in this new world.

 

[rick4bama]

I remember when wrestling was on ESPN in the early years.

 

[TerryP]

Bundling opportunities for the ESPN unlimited plan with Disney+ and Hulu include a special offer at launch for $29.99/month for the first 12 months.

I'm pretty close to saying "it's the only thing I'm going to pay for this fall."

There are some shows I enjoy watching that will premiere in the fall, winter, and spring. I'll catch up on those next summer.
