If it goes through, then Disney gets the bulk of 21st Century Fox, but Disney would avoid antitrust problems by not acquiring Fox broadcast network, Fox News Channel, Fox Business Channel, FS1, and FS2. That's a truly horrifying thought. ESPN would pretty much have total control of college sports and the P5 conferences. Makes one wonder if this happens if Fox would even bid on football packages. If you think there's "bias" in reporting and coverage now, just wait until the conferences have no where else to go.

I can't see that. Disney has the greatest motivation - they want those FOX Marvel properties very badly, and they will simply pay more than any other big media company like a Time-Warner or Comcast or Sony to get them. Unless some unforeseen force, like an Amazon or Google, jumps in at the last minute, I predict a Disney acquisition.

Not the studios and all that. The aftermath - the broadcast network, FOX News, FOX Sports. Would mix perfectly with what AT&T has/will get.

I could see that occurring down the road. It would almost be a full ownership circle since DirecTV (now owned by AT&T) used to be partially owned by News Corp. (Fox's parent). RE: Disney buying 21st Century Fox?? - solohawks - 12-05-2017 02:11 PM I gotta think the Big 10 network would be lumped in their with the other Fox Sports Regional networks. The only networks I have seen specifically excluded from the sale are FOX OTA, FS1/2 and Fox News/Business |
