  "account": "ESPN streaming services, including ESPN Select and ESPN Unlimited, are set to see price hikes starting September 17. These increases, first reported by Sports Media Watch, follow ESPN's revamp of its streaming strategy last year. The new prices will take effect on September 17th, and will impact various Disney+ and Hulu bundles. This price increase also affects the legacy ad-free Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN Select bundle, which will no longer be available to new subscribers. The cost of the Disney+ and Hulu bundles will increase from $25/month to $28/month. However, ESPN Unlimited bundles are exempt from these price changes. Other streaming services, such as Peacock and Apple, have also recently increased their prices.",
  "summary": "Another week, another price increase for a streaming service. This week, ESPN announced that ESPN Select and ESPN Unlimited are both getting more expensive, as are some associated Disney+ and Hulu bundles.",
