CNBC:
Disney's new streaming service will be called Disney+ and launch in late 2019, CEO Bob Iger announced on the company's earnings call Thursday.
The company announced in August 2017 it would pull all its movies from Netflix in 2019, and start its own streaming offering for its past titles. Disney also purchased Fox for $71.3 billion in cash and stock, further bolstering its library.
The service will also feature new, original shows and movies, including original Marvel and Star Wars series. Marvel fan favorite character Loki, played by Tom Hiddleston, will get an original series on the Disney+ service. A prequel series to Star Wars movie "Rogue One" about the character Cassian Andor, portrayed by Diego Luna, will also call the service home.
Are these streaming services the second coming of Cable?

Have you watched enough pre 1990 stuff to say it's equivalent to newer stuff? Top productions now feature characters that have trouble attaining the depth of those in the Dukes of Hazzard.
As for the political correctness in the newer stuff, it is commendable to present the main character as a spotless saint (yes it has spots but those are artificial and bound to be overcome by the end of the show), but you would know what risks it entails... if you only watched the final part of Dr Jekyll e gentile signora, a B series movies, in the original version with subtitles.
