Amazon looking to help develop "direct to consumer" ESPN platform:

Amazon Joins Growing List Of Suitors In Talks With Disney About ESPN

$20-35/mo?

High Price Point​

The network is also considering charging between $20 and $35 per month for the direct-to-consumer version. Such a price would easily stand among the highest in all of sports streaming, rivaling and perhaps surpassing the comparable $29.99 for direct-to-consumer versions of RSNs such as NESN and MSG.

ESPN is also the most expensive channel among basic cable networks.

That price would be fine to me for all sports - cheaper than getting all the other cable channels I don’t want - but they’re gonna have a nasty uphill struggle vs cable bundles because of all the “what about the game on Fox? What about the games on TNT/TBS?” Etc for whichever sport a particular person is interested in.
