Nelson Peltz, founding partner and CEO of Trian Fund Management, speaks with CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin on July 17, 2013 in New York. Are you not entertained, Nelson Peltz? Both Disney's higher profits, and string of content and partnership announcements, appeared to form a direct rebuttal to Peltz's concerns about the company. It was hard to keep up with Disney's announcements this quarter:ESPN finally set a launch date for its direct-to-consumer service: August or fall of 2025. It's only logical that the mountain of announcements came this quarter, given activist pressure from Trian and Blackwells Capital.

ESPN will launch its flagship direct-to-consumer service in either August or the fall of 2025, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced during an interview Wednesday with CNBC's Julia Boorstin. The service will include all of ESPN's programming and feature new personalization and integration with ESPN's fantasy platforms and ESPN Bet. The direct-to-consumer service would have been the first time noncable subscribers could access ESPN outside of the traditional cable bundle. ESPN didn't announce a price for the flagship direct-to-consumer service. Disney already has a sports streaming service in ESPN+, which ended the quarter with 25.2 million subscribers, down from 26 million a quarter ago.

And with the game streaming the day after Thanksgiving, Amazon could capture some of the holiday viewership, which broke records last year. ESPN's pivotESPN has long ruled sports programming on traditional TV. Yet even as the streaming trend picks up, sports programming is helping keep cable and traditional TV alive, for the moment. Earlier this year, data firm Nielsen reported that traditional TV made up less than half of overall TV usage in July.

☆ NFL committed to X partnership as Elon Musk's social platform gets heat for hate speech

The National Football League is sticking with X, formerly known as Twitter, as Elon Musk's site faces an advertiser revolt over hate speech and antisemitism on the platform. The NFL has partnered with the platform since 2013 as part of an effort to bring fans exclusive content. Last week, Musk agreed with a post on the platform accusing "Jewish communities" of pushing "hatred against whites," CNBC reported earlier this month. Earlier this month, left-leaning media watchdog site MediaMatters.org posted instances of Apple, Bravo and Oracle ads appearing next to antisemitic content on Musk's platform. X on Monday sued Media Matters over the report, coinciding with an investigation launched by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton into the watchdog site for possible fraudulent activity.

☆ Here's what streaming bundles could look like, according to Liberty Media's John Malone
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-09 | by ( Drew Richardson | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

"It could certainly happen if one was focused on one type of demographic and the other, another type of demographic," Liberty Media Chairman John Malone told CNBC's David Faber in an interview that aired Thursday. "Broadcast continues to survive, but is under real pressure as Big Tech competes for sports," Malone told CNBC. Disney already offers a three-way bundle plan of Hulu, Disney+ and ESPN+, which Disney owns. "The streaming version with ads will be part of the cable bundle," Malone, a former Charter board member, told CNBC. I would much rather see the cable companies be distributors of streaming in bundles and packages, because the two are kind of tied to the hip."
