Disney decides it hasn’t angered people enough, announces Disney+ price hikes

While mired in controversy from all sides, the Walt Disney Company has unveiled price hikes for Disney+ and its other streaming services today. As of October 21, Disney+ will cost up to 20 percent more, depending on the plan you have. Disney+ with ads is increasing from $10 to $12 per month, while the ad-free plan is going from $16 to $19 per month. The annual ad-free plan will go from $160 to $190.

Subscriptions for Hulu and ESPN Select will also increase, as will all Hulu + Live TV plans and bundles of Disney’s three subscription-based streaming services.Read full article Comments
