Disney is attempting to alleviate this issue with the launch of their own online streaming service, Disney Plus, expected to be launched in 2019.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/entertainment\/2018\/11\/22\/espn-loses-2-million-subscribers-this-year\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<p>      <!-- END CONTENT --><\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#333; font-size:11px;\">This article was posted: Friday, November 23, 2018  at  7:31 am<\/p>\n<hr class=\"dotted_line\"\/>\n<hr class=\"dotted_line\"\/><!-- share and follow --><br \/>\n      <!-- end of share and follow --><\/p>\n<div class=\"print_sub\">\n<h3 class=\"sub_titles\">&#13;<br \/>\n        \t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.prisonplanet.com\/espn-loses-2-million-subscribers-this-year.html\/print\/\" title=\"Print\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"WP-PrintIcon\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prisonplanet.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-print\/images\/printer_famfamfam.gif\" alt=\"Print\" title=\"Print\" style=\"border: 0px;\"\/><\/a><br \/>\nPrint this page.<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"dotted_line\"\/>\n<hr class=\"dotted_line\"\/>\n<p><!--\n      \n\n<div class=\"nextpage\">\n              <\/div>\n\n \n -->    <\/p>\n<p><!--\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Gm2pZEeYN0E?list=UUvsye7V9psc-APX6wV1twLg\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n--><\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prisonplanet.com\/espn-loses-2-million-subscribers-this-year.html\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BreitbartNovember 23, 3018 According to\u00a0Disney\u2019s recently released annual report, sports network ESPN has lost 2 million domestic subscribers over the course of 2018.
