Heads would explode here lol. Imagine if Fox News and ESPN were now comrades in arms.

And BTW the possible merger is probably intended to fight off Amazon and Netflix, and has nothing to do with making ESPN more conservative. Sorry.

God forbid. If Fox became Liberal I'd stop watching it. Too many snowflakes already, don't need another one. That would leave OAN as the last conservative leaning network.

Disney wants Fox so they can own the rights to XMen.

OAN is only on Direct right?

Mostly this. But they would also have the rights to shows like Firefly, and Boom comics. Plus many others.

All of the articles I have seen say the TV networks, news and sports would not be bought because of anti-trust issues. It would be the studio and networks like FX.

They're already working on getting the rights back to a few of the Marvel characters, gdunn. (they're pushing really hard to get the X-Men, Spidey, and FFour rights back).

But Bullet's right..i don't think it'd be anything outside of some of the off-shoot networks (FX, etc.)

XMen is so played out. Do they have a lot more planned movie-wise?

It's about used up by now.

Actually, after the last Logan movie they are about to embark an a new generation of characters (ie. X-23, Wolverine's daughter). I can easily see them getting another trilogy out of it.

Yeah, that's what I've heard as well. Doesn't include sports, etc.

The local Fox Broadcast Stations are not part of the any proposal.

I don't know. There are a few X-Men shows out there. Legion and The Gifted come to mind.
