Disney Unveils New ESPN Streaming Service for $30 a Month

Walt Disney Co. said its new sports streaming platform will be called ESPN, the same as its popular cable-TV channel, and cost $30 a month.

The new product, unveiled at a media event on Tuesday in New York, will give the roughly 60 million US households that don’t have a traditional pay-TV package the option of watching the channel’s marquee sporting events like Monday Night Football, US Open tennis and college football online. The platform is set to go live later this year.
