Members Faulkner Posted December 14, 2017 Members Share Posted December 14, 2017 An interesting take on this and why it's a bad thing: https://www.vox.com/culture/2017/12/14/16764472/disney-fox-deal-merger What could happen to Hulu, which Disney could position as a real threat to Netflix: http://variety.com/2017/digital/news/hulu-disney-fox-deal-future-tv-streaming-1202640711/ Other media companies could be forced to consolidate and get bigger to compete (like AMC Networks): http://variety.com/2017/biz/news/disney-fox-consolidation-mergers-1202640781/ The Fox broadcast network wasn't part of the sale, and, without the connection to the pipeline of Fox Studios, it could be doomed: http://www.vulture.com/2017/12/21st-century-fox-rupert-murdoch-broadcast-tv.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faulkner Posted December 16, 2017 Members Share Posted December 16, 2017 The FX network could be a casualty of the merger. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/fx-network-of-atlanta-and-the-americans-could-be-a-victim-of-disney-fox-consolidation/2017/12/15/635fe834-e05b-11e7-9eb6-e3c7ecfb4638_story.html?tid=sm_fb&utm_term=.0043cfa6826c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
