Verizon Is Giving Disney's Streaming a Boost
Verizon (NYSE: VZ) customers can now stream all things Disney (NYSE: DIS). The two companies are building on their existing relationship to offer customers of Verizon's new unlimited plans access to all three Disney streaming services -- Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ -- at no additional charge. The company previously offered select customers a free year of Disney+; the new plan includes all three services for the life of the plan, and it's priced the same as Verizon's old plan.
The move has the potential to provide a significant boost to Disney. The company disclosed that about 20% of its early Disney+ subscribers -- over 5 million total -- signed up through the Verizon promotion through the first three months of the service. Adding Hulu and ESPN+ to the bundle and making it permanent has the potential to drive even more adoption for all three streaming services.
