Disney's fiscal first-quarter earnings per share beat expectations and it said its full-year EPS will rise at least 20% from 2023. Iger also unveiled his strategy and timeline for bringing Disney's flagship sports network ESPN into the streaming era. AdvertisementThe company will launch a stand-alone streaming service with ESPN and its sister networks in the fall of 2025, something Iger called "inevitable." Even if there's consumer demand, the JV faces several hurdles, from challenges brought by existing distributors to antitrust opposition, LightShed Partners wrote in a note published ahead of Disney's earnings release. Challenges aside, the new sports streaming strategy is a big step forward for Iger and Disney.

The downsizing of Netflix's film ambitions is on pace with a broader contraction at the streamer, which announced 88 fewer original films last year than in 2022. But for some on Wall Street, the right number of Netflix original films just might be zero. Netflix's rise has been a mixed bag for filmWhen Netflix film head Scott Stuber joined the company in 2017, the mandate was quantity. Netflix announced a whopping 232 original films in 2021, according to Ampere Analysis. Netflix's original films started declining in 2022 from the 2021 peak of 232.

☆ Live sports is migrating to streaming, taking with it a superpower of the cable TV bundle
  + stars: | 2023-09-21 | by ( Oliver Darcy | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
CNN —The cable bundle is losing its biggest edge over the streaming competition: live sports. For years, live sports and news have been the cornerstone of the immutable cable bundle. Max is set to launch a live news channel next week, with the birth of CNN Max, the first cable news network to offer a 24/7 live streaming news service. With live news and sports now making their way to streaming, piece by piece, the Jenga puzzle of the cable bundle has started to destabilize. Once ESPN is available directly to consumers, the decades-long grip of the traditional cable bundle will surely fade considerably.

Distributors are making it harder for legacy media companies like Disney to bid for valuable sports content. "Historically, I felt media companies had the advantage with the content," Naveen Sarma, senior director of US Media & Telecom at S&P Global Ratings, told Insider. "The cable companies inevitably gave in. For the past couple years, we've wondered why the cable companies weren't taking the stand."
