It was worth it to Disney to pay $1.1 billion a year to hang onto the Monday Night Football franchise for its ESPN network. The new ESPN crew at Monday Night Football probably won't have a fraction of the paychecks of their ABC predecessors, but they'll likely hang onto a significant share of their audience.
Disney's announcement coincided with a mixed quarterly earnings report, which sunk its stock 3 percent in after-hours trading. Disney on Tuesday said it will be pulling its movies from Netflix and will launch a Disney streaming service of its own in 2019. It also said it will launch an ESPN streaming service early next year. To help do all that, Disney will acquire a majority of BAMTech, the streaming technology company owned by MLBAM, the internet company owned by Major League Baseball. Disney already owned a stake in BAMTech but will pay $1.58 billion for an additional 42 percent.
