A slimmer online package from Dish Network (NASDAQ
ISH) is starting to take shape after the company adds Scripps Networks programming to A+E and Disney.
Networks on board: Disney Channel, Disney XD, ESPN, ABC, A&E, History, Lifetime, H2, HGTV, DIY Network, Food Network, Cooking Channel, Travel Channel.
The service is expected to be introduced before the end of the year.
What to watch: A debate over the types of subscribers the OTT service will draw has been growing. Dish execs see cord-cutters and cord-nevers jumping on board, while some skeptics think a trade-down by current customers from the +$100 packages will occur.
