Amazon in talks with Disney about ESPN streaming partnership, The Information reports

Amazon.com is in early talks with Walt Disney Co about working on the streaming version of ESPN it is developing, while possibly also taking a minority stake in the sports network, the Information reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.

I know I'm supposed to be mad and all, but I am pushing for canceling our DirecTV Stream subscription and this could help. We mostly use it for background noise, news, and sports, but TV news is basically repetitive shouting (national) or J-school babies doing their own reporting or undercover ad pieces (local), so if the linear ESPN stuff is on a stream we're down to paying for inertia.
