The company is planning to provide ESPN cable television network as a streaming service to users who have cancelled cable television to adapt to changes in consumer tastes.
In the first nine months of this fiscal year, Disney's flagship sports brand accounted for approximately 19% of the company's operating profit.
The document shows that in the sports business field, Disney's domestic business performs better than its international business. According to a previous report by The Wall Street Journal, Disney's Star India has been struggling since losing a highly anticipated cricket rights project, and Disney is currently exploring strategic options for this business.
Due to users' relentless acceleration in canceling cable TV subscriptions, Disney's once lucrative traditional TV business has been greatly affected, forcing them to rethink its future and quickly switch to streaming media business.
According to the documents, in Disney's fiscal year 2022, the revenue of the sports department increased by 8% to $17.3 billion, while operating revenue decreased by nearly 1% to $2.7 billion.
