Agreement with Netflix will end in 2019; Netflix stock down 3%.
The Walt Disney Company announced it will launch a Disney-branded streaming service in 2019 and an Espn-branded service early next year.
The development came after Disney said it had agreed to acquire majority ownership of streaming technology company BAMTech, and triggered a 3% drop in Netflix stock in after-hours trading.
Both the branded Disney and Espn services will utilise BAMTech technology. Under terms of the transaction, Disney will pay $1.58bn to acquire an additional 42% stake in BAMTech from Mlbam, the interactive media and Internet company of Major League Baseball.
Disney previously acquired a 33% stake in BAMTech and is accelerating its option under that deal to acquire a majority stake.
