First, Disney announces they’re launching their own streaming service—and now CBS is starting a SVOD for sports. They’re hoping to fill a gap in the streaming space with a “24/7 live streaming channel,” and take it over-the-top this year—beating ESPN to the punch. Ypulse data shows 33% of 18-33-year-olds say sports is the only reason they have cable, so there’s reason to believe they’ll succeed—especially when you factor in their pre-existing deals with FCC Football, PGA Tour Golf, the NFL and NCAA.
