With skinny bundles, Disney hopes to fatten profits

Last month, Comcast and DirecTV announced new services that bring together most of the top sports and news channels and nothing else. At $70 a month, they’re not exactly lightweight. But they’re at least ten bucks cheaper than comprehensive live TV services from YouTube or Hulu. 

That puts them in a sweet spot, said Elizabeth Parks at market researcher Parks Associates.

“We’re tracking consumers spending about $71 a month now, and that’s actually a drop from a peak of $91 we saw a few quarters ago,” she said.
