I'm not sure, Horizon. If Disney had three strands it could maximise the number of subscribers to the service.

For example, if Hulu was included, I would subscribe, as would many other adults who want scripted services.. If sport was included, that would increase subscriptions substantially.

If they concentrate on kids' stuff, they are restricting their audience. Why would they do this with all that content at their disposal?
