Paramount Global president and CEO Bob Bakish is skeptical of Fox, Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery’s combined live sports streaming offering. During the 2023 fourth quarter earnings call for the company, Bakish addressed the upcoming streaming service, which is supposed to be available in the fall.
“Let’s start with the fact that there’s still a lot we don’t know about this service, things like price, packaging, consumer appetite,” Bakish said on Wednesday. “And to the consumer point, for a true sports fan, this product only has a subset of sports.”
The Paramount head went on to say the offering will be missing “half the NFL, a lot of college” and will have “virtually no” golf or soccer.
