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.

I pay for Sling TV during college football season just to have ESPN. So I'm very excited for a stand-alone for half the price.
