Apparently live content tests are taking place in the US leading to all sorts of speculation.

Yes they did.

Had an email:
Quote:If you have an active Disney+ subscription, your Disney+ subscription will be billed and will continue at a new annual price of £79.90 on your next payment date on or after 23 August 2021. If you have an active Disney+ subscription, your Disney+ payment method will be automatically charged on that date, unless you cancel beforehand. You can visit your Account Settings to find your next payment date.
My date is March 24 as I was an early adopter, and last time I paid £60.
This looks like it may be a carbon copy of an email from last year.
I've just had that same email.
Do Disney still have film deals in place with BBC/ITV. For example do we expect something like Lightyear to premier on BBC 1 in the future

Yes there are still deals in place. They may be more limited but the flagship franchises such as Marvel will likely in the short term at least keep a presence on linear TV. We saw with the recent Spiderman cinema release how previously films were made available across a number of networks, effectively acting as promotion for the new film and probably far more effective than standard trailers and interviews.

Disney are the latest streamer to announce plans for an ad supported cheaper subscription, though it won’t be in UK till next year.
I wonder how viable everyone doing this is? Obviously for ITV, C4, C5 it’s fine as they already sell ad space on linear so they just ended it out.
But there’s only so much ad spend to go around… i can’t see it sustaining everybody!

You don't need to sell "space" as such on streaming services. It'll be like YouTube most probably - where adverts played are selected from a pool. In the case of Disney+ they'll most likely have two pools because of Star - otherwise you could have an advert for, i dunno, Viagra or some other "adult" theme, during a Disney Channel TV show, unless some other safeguard is in place.
Anyway IMDb TV already has adverts which works well, even if it is slightly strangely implemented sometimes.
The Roku Channel too- though those ads can pop up at odd times as well.

Commercial radio has a similar sell to advertisers where they can buy into all the brands of a group, obviously if you're catering to an older audience with your product, you're not going to hear Stannah Stairlifts on Capital, but you will on Smooth and Gold.

That brand covers everything that doesn't fit the other five categories (which are Disney, Pixar, Marvel, National Geographic and Star Wars), which means it includes things like Home Alone and other 20th Century produced family friendly fare. The filter would need to be based on programme age ratings, not just Star vs everything else.
