    I canceled my subscription after the most recent price hike. Disney pulled off of YouTube TV a few weeks ago, though, so no ESPN. If you want to watch college football, you have to subscribe to their service, which I imagine would lead to a surge in subscribers.

      Good points, but this report does not reflect any of that

      Those subscriber numbers are still somewhat surprising given that Disney had two events in the quarter (which ended Sept. 25) that could impact subscribers: the short-lived suspension of Jimmy Kimmel, and the announcement of price increases. It is worth noting that the timing of subscription renewals may mean that any canceled subscriptions might not appear until the company’s fiscal Q1, and conveniently for Disney, it has previously said that it will stop reporting streaming subscribers in its next quarterly earnings report.

        “conveniently for Disney, it has previously said that it will stop reporting streaming subscribers in its next quarterly earnings report. “

        Tells you everything you need to know. If the numbers were good, they’d report them.
