What streaming stories did you miss this week?

ESPN+ extends distribution deal with bars and restaurants

In case there was any lingering confusion as to whether ESPN+ will continue to exist after the launch of the new ESPN streaming service, that confusion is now dispelled. ESPN and Joe Hand Promotions have announced an extension of their deal to bring ESPN+ programming to bars, restaurants, and other commercial venues. That deal will be particularly helpful if ESPN+ re-ups its contract with UFC, which is currently exploring other potential broadcasters.

The deal is just the latest sports contract picked up by the free Roku Channel streaming service, which also offers MLB Sunday Leadoff games, Pro Volleyball Federation matches, and more.

Max continues to accelerate international expansion

Warner Bros. Discovery executives have discussed the need to keep growing Max’s global audience recently, and the streamer is putting its money where its mouth is. On Tuesday, WBD announced that Max — which is rebranding back to HBO Max — will launch in Albania, Armenia, Cyprus, Estonia, Georgia, Iceland, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, and Tajikistan in July. The streamer has launched in other European countries, Australia, and elsewhere in recent years.

Apple CEO details why Apple TV+ exists

Apple TV+ has long been discussed as a unique member of the streaming world. The service offers only original shows and movies, but for years speculation has existed on whether Apple TV+ has been profitable and how many subscribers it has, since Apple doesn’t reveal that data publicly. Speaking to Variety, Apple CEO Tim Cook went into a bit more detail about why Apple TV+ exists. In essence, Cook says his company wants to “tell great stories,” and that he wants Apple TV+ to be a “great business as well.”

He also spoke on why the show is focused so heavily on originals.

“We elected not to go out and procure a catalog. I know that’s a faster way into the business, but it didn’t feel like Apple at the end of the day,” Cook said. “Apple should have something that we pour our passion into, and that’s exactly what we’re doing with the shows. And now you can see us hitting a stride. It feels wonderful.”
