Disney's Streaming Services: Disney+ (and Hulu, ESPN+, Star, & hotstar)

[DCBaker]

"Hulu is adding 14 new channels to its pay-TV package in the coming weeks, among them Hallmark Channel and the Weather Channel.

The Disney-run service, which has 4.4 million subscribers, now features more than 85 channels in its lineup, along with bundled access to Disney+ and ESPN+. Along with YouTube TV and other streaming bundles like FuboTV and Sling, Hulu posted incremental growth in the most recent quarter, ranking sixth among all pay-TV outlets across cable, satellite and the internet.

The additions to Hulu’s lineup are happening in stages. On November 1, the Weather Channel and Comedy.TV came aboard. Today, Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries are joining, with Hallmark Drama available as a premium add-on offering.

On December 1, a suite of channels from music video specialist Vevo (including offerings for pop, hip-hop, country, ’80s, ’90s and holiday music) will light up, along with African-American-focused TheGrio Television Network, JusticeCentral.TV and The Weather Channel en Español.

“We have been listening to our subscribers and are thrilled to bring some of their most requested channels to our service just in time for the holidays,” said Reagan Feeney, SVP, Live TV Content Programming and Partnerships for Hulu. “With these additions, Hulu + Live TV continues to be one of the most valuable live TV streaming destinations on the market, offering subscribers access to more than 85 live channels and entire on-demand content libraries from Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+.”

Byron Allen, whose Allen Media Group owns several of the channels joining Hulu, described the carriage deals as “another major step in the continued growth and expansion” of the company’s TV network operation."

Last year it was .99 - ahh, inflation.

(I don't qualify for this offer because I just canceled this week after my year at promo price was up. But I'm not sure I'd pay $2 for it.)

Disney hiring freeze will stay in place, CEO Bob Iger tells employees

Disney CEO Bob Iger said he won't remove the company's hiring freeze and that he will reassess its cost structure.

So for anyone who thinks Disney is rethinking their streaming strategy doesn't understand the future of Hollywood.

That's not what he said. He said his first priority is creativity and storytelling.

So for anyone who thinks Disney is rethinking their streaming strategy doesn't understand the future of Hollywood.

"Get Disney+ profitable" is a rethinking of their streaming strategy. The old strategy was "acquire subs at all costs." A pivot towards profitability is new (but not new for Iger, since Chapek had also started this pivot).

Was hoping to see a "Disney Gallery: ANDOR" on this list.

 

[MarvelCharacterNerd]

There are a ton of streaming deals going on through tonight for Black Friday-Cyber Monday. I've been debating and debating since the .99 ones mostly went up to $1.99.

By the end of the year I'll only have Disney+. Since I had the .99 Hulu deal that I just finished I'm not eligible for the new deal and I don't think it's worth $1.99/month anyway. Was slightly interested in Peacock at .99/month until I realized the only thing I really wanted to see on there was the latest Jurassic World movie and I can get that at the library for free. There's no new Trek for a while yet so not interested in Paramount+.

Which leaves the HBOMax deal that I have a few hours left to decide if I'm jumping in for the 3 months just to catch up on Doctor Who and maybe a movie or two like The Batman. I'd probably check out the new Gossip Girl as a guilty pleasure and likely House of the Dragon, too. Okay, I'm kind of talking myself into this. Hmmm...

So for anyone who thinks Disney is rethinking their streaming strategy doesn't understand the future of Hollywood.

Will we need to get reservations to watch Disney+ content? Will we need to get a lightening lane pass to watch a movie before it is streamed to the standby group?
