Disney, Fox, Warner Bros. Discovery Call Off Sports Streaming Service
(New York, NY) -- Disney, Fox, and Warner Brothers Discovery are calling off their plans to launch their sports streaming service, Venu. The companies said in a joint statement "it was best to meet the evolving demands of sports fans by focusing on existing products and distribution channels." They first announced Venu in February, saying it was meant to combine all three companies' live sports assets. It was supposed to launch at the start of the NFL season in September, but ended up delayed. That was in part due to a legal challenge from the internet TV bundler Fubo, which argued the platform would by anticompetitive.
