^ Not sure I agree with you but I doubt they'd show them on anything but ABC in your scenario. Maybe they'll call it "The Wonderful World of Disney+".

lol. Nope.
Is Fleabag "half" a show?
Besides, where did they say it would be an hour long show? As far as I know, I was promised a show called The Mandalorian... and that's what I've gotten.
No, they really won't.
Besides, it would be ABC, as Disney owns that.
But, they really won't.
One big reason: they would have to pay out a large sum of money to the creators, writers, directors and actors for that sort of broadcast, as the original contracts were for streaming--to justify the lack of residuals for the talent that streaming offers.
They aren't going to redo contracts just to broadcast on a network.
You think Disney lawyers suck?
If duh plus folds in three years, all their original programming, has to air somewhere.

"Half a show"? Hyperbole on overdrive.
No, I don't. But, I also know Disney is a WGA and SAG signatory. Both of the those unions have specific guidelines for dealing with different media. (And right now, they suck for streaming, another reason why corporations love streaming, they get to keep more of the profits.) So, they will be bound by those things.
Broadcast means residuals to writers, actors, directors. Streaming, there are no residuals.
If Disney+ folds in three years, there are bigger problems in the entertainment world.
And no, it doesn't have to air anywhere.
Disney isn't global, and won't be for years.
Broadcast networks around the world may try to get in on Disney programming, Before Disney Plus can make a beach head into their country.

I’m not going to say no but I’d be very surprised if D+ folds anytime soon. With 10 million day one subscribers, it seems very unlikely. If it does, the programming would be far more likely to go to a Disney subsidiary, probably a new network or to Hulu.
Streaming is the wave of the future. You wouldn’t be having the major players making significant investments if this wasn’t the case.

They may try, but why would Disney sell? Why would they entangle their IP with someone else? They have just spent a lot of time getting their content back from other providers.
A two year contract to screen the mandolorian 5 times, when Disney isn't planning on getting there to that coutry for 5 years.
It's not half a show, we're getting the full episodes as they were produced, they just happen to be short.
At first I was thinking a streaming show had never been shown on regular TV, but then I remembered that Transparent, which was originally an Amazon Prime Video show, was aired on the Sundance Channel back in 2017. So there is precedent for it, but I find it very doubtful that we'd see any of the Disney+ shows on TV as long as it's still around, and based on how big of a success it's already been, I can't see it going away any time soon.
10 million subscribers?
Is the first month free?
Oh?
Only the first week is free.
Retention is going to be a problem.

All streaming services offer a free trial. What’s the problem here?
Nope.
We just have to wait a week to see if they lose 3 customers or 3 million customers, if Disney is willing to tell us.
Um... when you pay for something, they literally owe you something. That's how trade works.
What??? 30 minutes is literally half of 60 minutes.
And they are delivering. They just aren’t delivering what you want. And that’s fine. You cancel. You move on.
Can't. Paid up front for 3 years.
