“We are also thrilled with the agreement signed earlier this year with The Walt Disney Company to combine Hulu + Live TV with Fubo,” Gandler and Bronfman Jr remarked.

“We believe this is a game-changing opportunity to establish a leading streaming company that prioritises consumer choice, flexible packages, and a cutting-edge experience. We will continue to provide periodic updates as the transaction progresses.”

In addition to the Hulu endeavour, Fubo also plans to create a new sports and broadcasting service which its leadership stress will be ‘tailored to sports fans’. The firm plans to launch this in the second half of 2025 to coincide with the winter sports schedule.

Disney's Power Move: Is This the Biggest Streaming Shake-Up Yet?

....But with Disney expanding its streaming empire, regulatory scrutiny is bound to intensify. For investors, the key question isn't just whether this deal goes through, but whether Disney's aggressive consolidation strategy will hold up under mounting legal and political pressure.

---- To the stratosphere with FUBO.

Show me the tech.

Venu Sports, a sports streaming service that was supposed to launch from Fox, Warner Bros. Discovery, and Disney's ESPN (DIS).

The three companies first announced the joint venture last year, with an expected price point of $42.99 a month. The service was set to bring together their respective slates of sports rights as media companies attempt to scale their streaming services and achieve profitability.

Ultimately, though, the service was abandoned due to increased regulatory and antitrust concerns.

"Our only disappointment in sports is that we will not be moving forward with [Venu]," Murdoch said on the call. "While the Venu team has done a tremendous amount of truly genius work preparing the digital platform for launch, in the end, the legal distractions around the business became increasingly difficult to bear."

If Fubo turns profitable post-Disney merger, expect a re-rating. Higher institutional interest, short covering, and bullish sentiment could drive the stock up

the shift from negative to positive EPS could be a game-changer.

Fubo investors: The silence post-Disney deal is likely due to ongoing regulatory approvals, integration planning, and potential NDAs. Mergers take time, and updates are usually limited until key milestones are reached. Expect news when there’s something concrete to share. $FUBO ·
