The bargain deals are for the tier with ads. The ads are paying more for that $1 sub, than what Disney is getting from a premium sub with no ads.Can you link me to the $1 a month for Netflix deal ?

Disney has two animation studios (not counting the smaller ones for Disney cable channels): Pixar and Disney Animations Studios.The studio needs to remember that they are an animation studio and stay away from "live action." Imo.
First, see if they're getting the premium or with-ads tier. The with-ads tier pays for itself thru ads.The question is how much of that is due to getting D+ for free with your phone and things like that.
It's for the ads tier. Advertisers are funding the sweet deal.I don't think we would see a deal where Hulu offers 99 cents for a month or 12 dollars for the entire year. Steepest discount I have ever known them to have.

At this point, the number of subscriptions takes on import not from the subscription fees that the customer pays, but, the size of the number of subscriptions is used to show advertisers they should pay more to Disney to advertise with them.
Good point.Tho... "Live TV" subs are in danger. They provide live airing of linear channels. But if linear channels go extinct, there will be nothing "Live" to stream.
The exception would be sports, and Disney will be making the ESPN Cable channel into a concurrent streamer in 2025.
Yeah, forgot news.Good point.
You mention sports, but I think live "cable" news is still a big driver of linear despite the fact that much of it can be viewed online. Maybe that's just legacy viewers. Disney's done a few live broadcasts (Academy Awards, etc.), which isn't linear, but is live.
I think we've also seen some novel and hybrid approaches to linear that will keep people subscribing to Live TV until it's better integrated into DTC platforms. I fully expect D+ to incorporate live streams, and I could see those being an upcharge from the basic subscription packages.
Yeah, forgot news.
Is there room for an ABCnews tile in D+?
I think it has to do with the rights being tied up with licensing agreements. But lots of ABC content is available (Dancing with the Stars, Blackish, etc.) on D+, most of it on Hulu (due to Disney's previous strategy of keeping D+ more Disnified).I’ve often wondered why they don’t loop ABC into Disney+ in some way.
Even if it can’t be live in Canada, could put episodes of their daytime shows up (GMA, The View) news recaps, Jimmy Kimmel, all sorts, a day later, or throughout the day.
How are those magazines doing now? Are they growing?
Disney does not have to make anything? There are costs involved, and you have to produce content that is much more expensive than a magazine.
Also, it is abnormal to offer less than when the deal was around last time. Not a sign of growing business demand.
I specifically stated lower than ever. Hulu used to have 2.99 a month for a year around Black Friday. It has lowered every year to now just 99 cents a year and has a 9 billion debt to comcast.
Sometimes JD80, you are wrong, and that is ok.
Verizon had one earlier this year offering it for free.Can you link me to the $1 a month for Netflix deal ?
So Bob the Elder has transformed into Bob the Builder??There is catastrophic core damage to almost all their divisions…and I bet the DCL wake up and wise up to what’s happening to them too…due to management mistakes
And Napoleon Bob directed, oversaw and/or hired every single person that made them.
Every.
Single.
One.
Never heard this before.At the New York Times Dealbook Conference, Bob Iger said he would "definitely" step down at the end of 2026.
"Walt Disney (DIS.N) Chief Executive Bob Iger said on Wednesday he would "definitely" step down when his current contract ends in 2026 and that the ABC broadcast network was not for sale.
In a wide-ranging interview at the New York Times Dealbook Conference, Iger also said he was "bullish" on the prospects for Shanghai Disneyland and he expected the company would expand the theme park "relatively soon."
Iger returned to Disney as CEO in November 2022, less than a year after he retired, to revamp the media company after the board ousted his hand-picked successor, Bob Chapek.
Disney's ABC unit is not up for sale, Iger said as the company deals with a decline in linear television because viewers are shifting toward streaming. Iger had said earlier this year that networks such as ABC may not be "core" to Disney going forward."

And what is prominent in the parks? "Swiss Family Robinson" has a tree, "Tron" JUST got a ride, and "The Muppets" are pretty absent.Disney is most definitely *not* "an animation studio."

That is the funniest part. It used to cost more with the ads. The demand is not up. They could have people register free if it was for ads. Other services already do this.
Advertisers only pay more if there are more eyeballs.
The point remains demand is down so the sweet deal has to be sweeter. You don't offer a cheaper deal because demand is up.
I think in 5 years he’ll be known as “Bob the lesser”So Bob the Elder has transformed into Bob the Builder??
I see a whole new merch line
