"It feels like we've reached total saturation when it comes to streaming services, but apparently people are happy to sign up for one (or two) more services if they include live sports. According to Antenna, a firm that tracks the streaming industry, the new ESPN service and Fox One signed up about a million new subscribers in just 10 days. And that number doesn't include those signing in through a cable subscription or coming over from an existing Disney+ sub."
"Antenna didn't specify how many people signed up for ESPN versus Fox One, though according to Front Office Sports, most of the subscribers are for ESPN. With the NFL season just getting underway it's no surprise that many were eager to sign up for a service that would let them watch live football without cable. Fox One includes Fox News and Fox Business, but the real draw is livestreams from Fox Sports, FS1, FS2, and local Fox affiliates."
Antenna reported that ESPN's new service and Fox One added about one million subscribers combined within ten days, excluding cable sign-ins and transfers from Disney+. Antenna did not disclose the split between the two services, while Front Office Sports indicated most new subscribers signed up for ESPN. The NFL season kickoff boosted demand for live-football access without cable. Fox One bundles Fox News and Fox Business but emphasizes livestreams from Fox Sports, FS1, FS2, and local affiliates. Pricing is $29.99/month for ESPN and $19.99/month for Fox One, with a planned Disney bundle offering both for $39.99 starting October 2.
