The House of Mouse has also reached global agreements with nearly all the major platforms to distribute the Disney+ app across partner mobile and connected TV devices, including Apple, Google, Microsoft, Roku and Sony. It recently announced a distribution agreement with Charter Communications to deliver the service.
The global moves come on the back of Disney announcing that consumers in the US will be able to get a bundled offering of Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu for $12.99. This means they will be able to obtain all of the Disney+ programming plus thousands of live sporting events, sports-themed original series and sports documentaries from ESPN+ as well as Hulu’s original content and on-demand streaming library.
