I was going to cancel after spring sports ended... but at $12.50 for the ESPN/Hulu/Disney+ bundle, it's not worth canceling unless you're dropping all three.
This is not a bad deal. I canceled ESPN+ after football season ended, but we watch Disney+ quite a bit and I was planning on switching to this plan as soon as it looked like football will be played. I'm not familiar with what's on Hulu but for the price, it's basically a free addon to the other two.

In addition to football, we watched a lot of field hockey on ESPN+ in our household. All of the ACC games were carried, too bad App games weren't unless playing a team on there. I was suprised the MAC FH tourney was streamed only on the MAC site but not ESPN+ considered other MAC events are carried.

As an aside, my favorite original program on Disney+ as a fan of the Disney Parks (and spouse of a "licensed Disney vacation planner") is The Imagineering Story docu-series. It is surprisingly honest and self-critical considering it is basically a 9 hour Disney Parks promo. Also with Disney+, it's fun to see my kids discover stuff I enjoyed as a kid like the 20 year old episodes of The Simpsons.

Hulu is good for tv shows. Seinfeld, Married With Children, Always Sunny in Philadelphia, King Of The Hill. There’s a lot of history channel content on there too.

Not a ton of original content on there but if you’re a cord cutter it’s got a killer TV library.

Thanks for the info. Hulu is probably not something that would interest me unless it has a strong classic film library. I rarely watch TV especially almost never sitcoms, but its basically free so why not give it a try.

I already canceled Netflix after realizing I wasn't interested in anything on there after they butchered The Witcher books (which I had enjoyed reading after loving the games) and all the stuff the kids watched moved to Disney+.

I am not one to go back and watch old shows, so the relative lack of original content on Hulu limited how much I used it (although Handmaid's Tale is maybe my favorite current show).

BUT, I will say that Hulu Live finally convinced me to cut the cord, just this month. The thing stopping me for years was being able to watch sports - not just ESPN but the regional Fox Sports channels, etc.

For $55/mo., Hulu Live gets you all the ESPN channels, your local channels, your regional Fox Sports, FS1/FS2, the ACC/SEC/B1G networks, NBCSN, CBSSN, TBS and TNT. Plus all the cable news networks, FX and USA. I think the only thing it's missing that I care about is AMC, which I decided I could live without.

That is pretty strong.

The only reason I haven't cut the cord is my ISP basically gives basic cable away for a few bucks when we pay for internet. That probably means I'm paying too much for internet, but is what home is wired for at the moment.
