The new merger scuttles one of the splashier deals of 2024, which found Disney/ESPN, Warner Bros. Discovery, and Fox joining forces in the megabun­dle sports streaming app Venu Sports. The deal im­mediately signaled the end of Fubo's widely publi­cised lawsuit against Venu Sports and would appear to leave erstwhile Venu Sports partner Warner Bros. Discovery out in the cold. Disney's Fubo acquisition (and the inevitable Fubo + Hulu + Live polynomials to follow) is projected to shake out over the next 12–18 months.
