Disney’s Hulu + Live TV, Fubo Merger Surprised Wall Street and Could Lead to More Deals
admin 2025/01/08 02:22The launch of sports streamer Venu, "and potentially new packages from Fubo, appears to be an important strategic lever to cast a wider net and catch all potential subscribers," says one Disney analyst.
Disney started off 2025 with a bang, unveiling on Monday a surprise merger of its multichannel video streaming service Hulu + Live TV with competitor FuboTV, forming a combined company that will continue to be publicly traded under the Fubo name, but with the Hollywood giant controlling 70 percent and a majority of the board.
Fubo will drop its lawsuit against Venu Sports, the sports streaming joint venture of Disney, Fox Corp., and Warner Bros. Discovery, as part of the transaction. And Fubo CEO and co-founder David Gandler will run the combined entity.
