The WWE is coming to ESPN.

The Disney-controlled sports and entertainment business will pay an average of $325 million per year for five years of U.S. rights to the WWE's biggest live events, including WrestleMania, the Royal Rumble and SummerSlam, beginning in 2026, according to people familiar with the matter who declined to be naming speaking about the deal specifics.

Those of us who warned about the transitory nature of savings via cord cutting are being proven right more and more...

On Thursday, ESPN officially launched ESPN+, a sports streaming service that costs $29.99 a month. The company said the new offering was targeting two distinct consumer groups: a. cord nevers, aka those people who have never had a cable or satellite subscription, and b. cord cutters, aka those who have cut the cord and no longer have cable or satellite subscriptions. The move is necessary because, according to the New York Times from Thursday: "ESPN is in around 61 million homes today between cable, satellite and services like YouTube TV. ESPN receives around $15 per subscriber monthly from distributors for all of its networks."...
