This change is part of Disney's broader strategy to consolidate and streamline its streaming services. The company is reportedly planning to overhaul the Disney+ app to integrate more live 24/7 channels, likely including some of the content that was previously available for free in the now-shuttered apps.
Bundling Disney+ with Other Services
In a related move, Disney is also reportedly exploring the idea of bundling Disney+ with other streaming services, similar to the successful Disney+/Hulu/ESPN+ bundle.
