This argues that it's Netflix vs Disney and it's a zero-sum game. If you lump all TV dollars together it's Disney vs Netflix vs CBS vs HBO vs Cable etc... It's not so clear what the consumer will do. The wild card is still live sports. It's the one area that cable still has a strangle hold. Once sports is fully streaming what can cable offer?

Live sports on ESPN are available on Sling TV and YouTube TV in the United States.
Some are, but a lot of regional games are blacked out and not available on Sling. I tried to switch the last couple of years and every weekend in the fall (College Football) my game was on cable and not on Sling.
Pretty sure disney also owns ESPN.
