http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2016/08/ESPN-logo-2016-250x123.jpgThe Walt Disney Company has an**unced (http://espnmediazone.com/us/press-releases/2016/08/walt-disney-company-acquires-mi**rity-stake-bamtech/) it is acquiring a mi**rity 33 percent stake in BAMTech, a video streaming company previously formed by Major League Baseball, for $1 billion. Disney has the option to acquire majority ownership of BAMTech in the coming years.
Disney said it will collaborate with BAMTech to launch and distribute a new ESPN-branded multi-sport subscription streaming service in the future. The direct-to-consumer service will feature content provided by both BAMTech and ESPN, and include live regional, national, and international sporting events. Current content on ESPN's linear networks will **t be streamed. The deal will also support streaming video and digital products from ABC and Disney, and future digital initiatives.
Disney currently offers a free video streaming service called WatchESPN (https://itunes.apple.com/app/watchespn/id429009175?mt=8), but a cable or satellite TV subscription is required for authentication. The new multi-sport service would presumably allow cord-cutters to watch live games and other sporting events on the web, smartphones, and tablets for a set cost per month. ESPN broadcasts NFL's Monday Night Football, MLB, NBA, WNBA, MLS, NCAA sports, and more.
Apple's much rumored streaming TV service (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/streaming-tv-service/) was originally expected to include content from Disney properties, but the plans were postponed late last year. Apple has a close relationship with Disney, which made the late Steve Jobs its biggest shareholder upon acquiring Pixar in 2006. Disney CEO and chairman Bob Iger has also held a seat on Apple's board of directors since 2011.
