Disney Enters Streaming Advertising Arena, Leaving Apple TV+ As Only Commercial-Free Streaming Player
08.12.2022 - 22:47 / deadline.com
Disney + Basic, a cheaper version of the 3-year-old streaming service, has officially gone live.
Today’s launch of the $8-a-month offering marks a turning point in the larger streaming race, leaving Apple TV+ — for now — as the only major player without commercial interruptions. When once-and-current Disney CEO Bob Iger and his senior team began making a series of moves years ago to prepare for the push into streaming, the template was Netflix, which avidly insisted for years it would never sell ads. Now, while Netflix remains the global leader with 223 million subscribers, it faces intense competition and Co-CEOs Reed Hastings and Ted Sarandos have publicly lamented that the company dithered before finally launching their own ad-supported effort last month.
Apple, meanwhile, has been exploring a less expensive tier with ads (an option HBO Max, Paramount+ and Peacock all have, while the sports push by Amazon’s Prime Video has turned it into a streaming-ad heavyweight). Apple’s entry-level version would reportedly go for $5 a month, offering an onramp for inflation-hit consumers after Apple’s steep 40% monthly price increase kicked in this month. Since entering the direct-to-consumer streaming market in 2019, Apple has never disclosed any specific subscriber or viewership numbers, though the tech giant has appeared to gain traction with series like Ted Lasso and Severance and films like Coda, which won an Oscar for Best Picture.
Disney’s new tier features 100 advertisers at launch and about 4 minutes of ads per hour, slightly less than the industry norm. Along with the new plan, Disney is also offering additional bundles. “Duo Basic” pairs the lowest tiers of Disney+ and Hulu for $9.99 a month, while “Trio Basic” groups
