ESPN looking to be hub of all live sports streaming, CNBC reports

Disney’s (DIS) ESPN wants to be the hub for all live sports streaming – even for its competition, CNBC’s Alex Sherman reports. The sports network has held conversations with major sports leagues and media partners about launching a feature on ESPN.com and its free ESPN app that will link users directly to where a live sporting event is streaming, according to people familiar with the matter. That could include national or global streaming services, such as Apple TV+ (AAPL) and Amazon Prime Video (AMZN), or a regional sports service such as Sinclair’s (SBGI) Bally Sports+ or Madison Square Garden Entertainment’s MSG+ (MSGE), the author notes.
