Bob Iger Thinks Disney Has An Advantage In Streaming Over Netflix, Amazon: Here's Why

Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:DIS) CEO Bob Iger believes that ESPN gives the company a significant edge over streaming rivals like Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) and Amazon.com, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:AMZN) Prime Video.

What Happened: During Disney's first-quarter earnings call, Iger highlighted ESPN's year-round, 24/7 sports coverage as a key differentiator.

Other streamers are getting into the sports game Disney has the advantage of a menu of sports programming that no one else has, Iger said. "We're on 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. So, if you're a sports fan, it's not about one day of boxing or one day of football, it's about sports every single day of the year."
