On the heels of the demise of Venu Sports, DirecTV is launching a skinny sports-focused TV network package called MySports, with an initial price tag of $49.99 a month.

The streaming package of 40 sports and broadcast TV channels will be initially be offered in 24 markets -- including major markets in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia and San Francisco-Oakland.

Consumers do not need a satellite subscription for the package. The bundle of networks can stream MySports through the DirecTV app on mobile devices or via Roku, Amazon Fire, and Apple TV.

Sports TV channels will include ACC Network, Big Ten Network, DIRECTV 4K Live, DIRECTV 4K Live 2, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNews, ESPNU, Fox Sports 1, Fox Sports 2, Golf Channel, MLB Network, NBA TV, NFL Network, NHL Network, SEC Network, TBS, TNT, TruTV and USA Network.

Broadcast networks will be available via initial local TV stations owned and operated by ABC, Fox and NBC in those 24 markets.

DirecTV is also reportedly negotiating to add CBS-owned TV stations as well.

After the initial three-month period, the regular price will move to $69.99 a month.

The new sports package will feature networks owned by Walt Disney, Fox Corp., and Warner Bros. Discovery -- the partners in a joint venture that intended to launch Venu Sports.

Venu Sports was intended to launch last fall with around 40 networks.

DirecTV, Dish Network, and other pay TV providers opposed that launch in filings with a U.S District Court in connection with a lawsuit filed by Fubo TV. That lawsuit claim Venu Sports was anticompetitive and violated antitrust rules.

The lawsuit was pulled by Fubo after Disney announced it was buying a 70% stake in Fubo, a sports focus virtual pay TV distributor for $220 million. Disney intends to merge its Hulu+Live TV with Fubo.
