Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 4738500, member: 622"] I cannot read your link, I don’t have access. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/02/01/could-big-tech-drive-espn-out-of-business/[/URL] This link shows ESPN made $8.5BB in profit, not revenue, last year. That was more than 1/3 of Disney’s profit. ESPN is a cash cow. Disney’s streaming issues are the problem and the apparent goal of Iger to partner with someone to iron them out. This has been discussed ad nauseam in this thread, ESPN’s streaming stinks in comparison to Apple, Amazon, and Hulu (which is admittedly weird as Hulu is largely owned by Disney). Regardless, ESPN holds the rights and production capabilities while lacking the high quality streaming capabilities, partnering with a big tech company makes sense to bring the two components together.
