The Walt Disney Co. said its new streaming sports service will be called ESPN Plus.

ESPN Plus will be launched in the spring. It will be based on a redesigned ESPN app that will enable users to view highlights, stream ESPN programming and subscribe to thousands of additional live sporting events.

“The one app experience will be a one-of-a-kind product,” Iger said. “It will have more live sports than you can get on any channel, site or app.” Iger said that pricing for the app will be disclosed next year.

subscribe to thousands of additional live sporting events.

UtOh! Sounds like pay-per-view. That can get expensive!

Hopefully it will open the door to more sports free packages

Agreed! I would pay for their service during College Football season, but the other 8 months of the year I could easily live without it. I would like to see some skinny and sports-free bundles for less then $20 a month.

Maybe this is where Formula 1 will live in the USA come the 2018 season.
