I am more for Comcast - Fox merger than Disney - Fox merger personally.
It's scary, but hey, this is America.
- BigChiefSmokem 8y agoCould you explain your reasoning? Just curious.
- shp0ngle 8y agoFox and Disney do the same thing and will become a near monopoly. Comcast and Fox do different things.
- HedgeSparrow 8y agoI am pretty sure this acquisition would just make Comcast a bigger "near monopoly" in both industries of "things," but I see where you're coming from.
- dave5104 8y agoComcast shouldn't be getting anything. Media and the tubes that carry it should remain separate.
- what_ever 8y agoExcept that Fox channels on the TV are not part of the Fox being sold.
- dave5104 8y agoNo, in this case there's no TV part of it. But I'd still consider the film division as the "media" and the streaming services that can show the films as the "tubes", both of which Comcast would have ownership over. Comcast currently has a 30% ownership stake in Hulu, and would pick up another 30% from 21st Century Fox.
- majormajor 8y agoFox Sports regional networks are part of the Disney deal, and aren't in the exclusion list here, either. Comcast has dabbled in regional sports before, this would be a big move against Disney to consolidate all the FSN regional stuff too.
