Execs for Venu Sports say they're not trying to steal subscribers from cable and streaming, but there's almost no way that won't happen.
Now that we finally know what Venu Sports is going to cost every month, it’s time to sit down and do some math. Because there’s a very real possibility that despite executives’ statements to the contrary, this new streaming service that combines the sports rights of Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery could actually grow beyond how its creators intended.
But as streaming prices have continued to increase over the years — and the options look more and more like the inescapable cable bundles of old — those of us who pay the bills are looking for more and better options. And if you’re the sort who cares about live sports but doesn’t need a half-dozen channels with MCU movies every night, Venu Sports may make a lot of sense.
Let’s use YouTube TV as our example, since it leads with more than 8 million subscribers. YouTube TV costs $73 a month. That’s $30 a month more than Venu Sports, or a full $360 a year. Among the hundred-or-so channels you’ll get on YouTube TV are your local broadcast channels — so that covers ABC and Fox, which are included in Venu Sports, and CBS and NBC, which aren’t. There’s also the ESPN family of channels. And FS1 and FS2.
