Ugh. There are already way too many. The attraction of streaming services was that they were an alternative to paying for TV’s bazillion channels. I don’t want to pay for a bazillion streaming services instead.

Right now I have Netflix and Amazon Prime. I will add Disney + when it launches because hello Marvel Zombie here. I will probably pick up CBS All Access through Amazon when the Picard Star Trek show hits. The only other thing which might get my money is the Criterion streaming service because classic film zombie here.

I seem to be someone who doesn’t have a problem with the variety of streaming services. In fact, I much prefer this. A monopoly from one or two major streaming services would not be a good thing for the market, and if other companies want to create original programming for their services for a draw, all the power to them. All it comes down to is me choosing what I wish to subscribe to, just as before, and if need be, expand or decrease what I have.

Post Fox deal, they have the content library to keep a lot of people happy plus high demand original programming.

Seems to be the one for Star Wars & superhero fans And Disney animation. And The Simpsons. And 20th Century Fox. And Fox Searchlight Pictures. And Pixar. The Fox merger was all about content. Of which they now own a whole lot. It is kind of difficult to wrap ones brain around just how large Disney is now. It also probably isn’t an understatement to say Disney is the most powerful entertainment company we have ever seen.

Everything else is up to whether you want to pay for it or not. I never said they were........ the licence really only covers the bbc but is expensive at about £13 a month....BBC and partners should not be allowed to set up its own streaming service.

Both fox and Disney content is locked to other subscription services for at least 2-3 years....... disney will open its service with a handful of exclusives little else......

In which region are you talking about? In the states we see Disney content winding rabidly down on Netflix. And nothing in this discussion takes into account that Disney now has a controlling stake in Hulu. When Disney+ comes on long, it will be with much more than just a handful of exclusive titles.

If the rumors around the cancellations of Daredevil etc are any indication, The Disney rolldown on Netflix was initiated on Netflix's end. They've decided not to provide Disney with an advertising platform. Disney is still at the mercy of other distribution deals that were made before the buyout.
EDIT: Granted, that link is months old, but I havnt found anything newer to show that Turner has stopped trying to squeeze a big payday.

Well, that Netflix would be winding down Disney TV produced shows makes sense to me. Flip side is Captain Marvel will the the last MCU film Netflix will be able to show. Still, the point continues to be that the Disney/Fox merger happened for one big reason, a Disney streaming channel with more content than any other streaming service. I frankly have a hard time imagining Disney+ opening with a soft roll-out. The big guns will be out blazing. All 22 MCU films, plus the Loki, Scarlet Witch & Winter Soldier/Falcon team up series. Plus all the Star Wars films, plus all the animated Star Wars stuff and the original Star Wars series. Then nothing to say of Alien and the rest of the films in that cycle. getting rolled out. Avatar. So much material that they now control it rather boggles the mind. Regardless of the when and the how, this is a big, big game and Disney has made sure they have the bullets to win this fight.

Don't really watch cartoons much but maybe the 20th century fox back catalogue would be interesting.
