Disney Hit With Antitrust Suit Claiming Hulu & ESPN Deals “Inflate Prices” Of Live Streaming TV

This dramatic, marketwide price inflation has been led by Disney’s own price hikes for Hulu + Live TV, and has directly tracked Disney’s competitor-by-competitor negotiation of new SLPTV carriage agreements over this time period.”
With more than 5 million subs, including trials, YouTube TV is the largest provider of streaming live pay television services.
Disney and YouTube TV reached a new deal late last year after a carriage dispute that led to ESPN going dark on the
