Ending months of speculation, Disney today launched its first foray into 24/7 live streaming on Disney+. Subscribers can now access a free, continuous feed of ABC News, delivering live newscasts, breaking news coverage, and pre-produced news programs around the clock.
This move marks a significant expansion for Disney+, traditionally known for its vast library of on-demand content. The addition of ABC News Live provides viewers with a real-time news option directly within the platform, catering to those seeking up-to-the-minute information and analysis.
The 24/7 feed offers a comprehensive news experience, encompassing everything from live broadcasts of flagship ABC News programs to in-depth special reports and breaking news alerts. This integration further solidifies Disney’s commitment to providing diverse content offerings for its subscribers.
While this is Disney+’s first venture into live streaming, it’s likely not the last. Rumors persist that additional live channels, potentially including ESPN content, could be added in the future. For now, subscribers can enjoy the convenience and immediacy of ABC News Live, marking a new chapter in the evolution of Disney+.
This is likely just the first live channel to join Disney+ as its reported more will be coming soon.
