Disney is airing the Super Bowl on multiple platforms including ABC, ESPN, Disney+, ESPN2, ESPNU, and NFL Network, fragmenting viewership and potentially reducing local broadcast advertising revenue by up to 35%. This move irritates ABC affiliate station owners, who rely on the Super Bowl for a significant portion of their annual ad income. Disney aims to reach broader audiences and maximize ad revenue across its platforms, but affiliates warn this strategy undermines traditional broadcast value and are discussing compensation options. The shift reflects the broader industry trend of streaming live events to meet changing viewer habits.
