UFC pay-per-view fights will now only be available with an ESPN+ subscription

sudshr47 March 18, 2019

Mixed martial arts fans are going to need an ESPN+ subscription if they don’t already have one.

UFC has expanded a deal with ESPN which will make all of its pay-per-view events exclusive to the Disney-owned sports network’s ESPN+ service. Starting with UFC 236 on April 13, an ESPN+ subscription will be required to purchase a UFC PPV event.

The MMA promoter originally signed a five-year, $1.5 billion TV rights deal with ESPN less than one year ago. The expanded deal brings UFC’s popular PPV events, as well as multiplatform rights, to the Disney-owned network through 2025.

Disney just released details about ESPN Plus, its new $4.99 streaming video service

sudshr47 February 7, 2018

The 2018 Super Bowl has finally passed, but sports fans may still have something to look forward to later this year.

On an earnings call Tuesday, Disney CEO Bob Iger provided more details about ESPN’s upcoming streaming video service, ESPN Plus. Disney first announced the service back in August 2017, but few specifics about the platform have emerged since.

According to TechCrunch, ESPN Plus will become available this spring, for $4.99 per month. It will be accessed within ESPN’s existing free app.

Unfortunately, paying for the streaming service won’t give users access to what ESPN is broadcasting on its TV channels — you’ll still need a cable subscription and log-in for that. So what exactly will your ESPN Plus subscription get you? That’s where things get a bit murky. Read more…

Katie Nolan works for ESPN, but her Saturday work shift wasn’t a typical made-for-TV broadcast. For one, she was seated in an armchair, legs curled up underneath her, and was dressed in a flannel and jeans.

“Don’t quote me on this, but look it up. You’re at a computer,” Nolan said to no one in particular as she discussed football, Atlanta remixes, and blocking people on Twitter with her colleague Clinton Yates for ESPN’s NFL Wildcard Live, airing exclusively on Twitter.

Nolan isn’t a typical sports analyst who shares breaking news and meticulously scrutinizes replays. She’s a Boston native who loves the New England Patriots and will send tweets like this on a Saturday night: Read more…
