ESPN+ college football viewership more than doubled with the addition of Big XII games.

Top 3 college football games on ESPN+



#1 Kansas State vs Oklahoma St, 9/28/19
#2 W Virginia vs Kansas, 9/21/19
#3 Syracuse vs Liberty, 8/31/19

Well it would be nice to see numbers!

Increase of 132% isn’t very hard when you barely started and only had a few games.

I am surmising that the actual viewer numbers are pretty low and therefore not given.

I like ESPN+ even though I swore I would never buy it when it came out. You get a lot of good stuff on there for just $5 a month, less with a Disney bundle.

And even though + was advertised as a mobile on your phone thing, if you have a Smart TV you can just as easily watch a + show the same way you watch ESPN or any other regular cable channel.

BTW, maybe delete the duplicate thread?

ESPN+ is/can be a decent platform. I need to work it into my brain more to check there earlier, but since I don't get any premium sports channels (aka I only get sports on the broadcast networks) I'll often find myself just opening the ESPN+ app on my firestick and scrolling through the games realizing I have too many that I would want to watch on there.

IMO, the ESPN app itself works very well. I click on the ESPN app pretty often just to check the latest sports news, been doing that long before ESPN+ existed. But as they usually have ESPN+ events advertised right there on the home page of the ESPN app, I get informed about ESPN+ stuff without having to make a special effort to 'go in' to ESPN+ to do so.

Also, because Disney is always trying to get more people to sign up for +, they advertise + stuff pretty heavily on all the ESPN cable channels, so you get the info there as well.

Peronally, I am about to subcribe to it as part of the Disney bundle to go with Hulu live.

IMO, the Disney bundle is hard to pass up. Any two of those three alone I would pay $12.99 for, so you are really getting a third very nice streaming service for free.

Exactly, and lets face it long term + will be 90% garbage leftover games, that no one cares to see. Personally I am not going to pay for that crap.

No, I’d like to see numbers whether good or bad.

I want to see other platforms numbers also.

The 30 for 30 Library gives me something I know I can watch every night. Worth it for that almost.

Actually, I would too, but ESPiN+ does seem to have an increasing following, which CBS and Fox does not really have in streaming.
