Disney Closes New Merger Deal for Hulu Live TV & Fubo

Disney’s power remains strong. Following their upcoming integration of Hulu, the company is already making plans for further growth.

Okay, so this is pretty big news for anyone who follows streaming! Disney and Fubo have officially joined forces – they’re merging Hulu + Live TV with Fubo. Basically, Disney will be the majority owner, holding a 70% stake in the combined service. It’s a significant move that’s sure to shake things up in the live TV streaming space.

Disney officially took full control of Hulu in June of this year, following a long-standing agreement with Comcast. Recent developments in early October focused on rebranding efforts, specifically replacing the Star brand with Hulu as the primary source of general entertainment content outside of the US.

The combination of Fubo and Hulu + Live TV will create the second-largest streaming TV service in the U.S., serving almost six million customers across North America. It will be behind only YouTube TV, which currently leads the market with more than 10 million subscribers.

After months of discussion, a new partnership has been finalized. Fubo and a group including Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery are joining forces to create a new live TV streaming service. As part of the agreement, Fubo will end its legal challenge against Venu Sports, the sports streaming package. Additionally, Fubo’s advertising team will now be managed by Disney.
