Fubo Responds to News of New Disney-Fox-WBD Sports Bundle
Story Highlights
Sports-focused streaming pay-TV operator Fubo issued a statement on Wednesday in response the planned sports streaming venture involving Disney/ESPN, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery. Fubo’s stock was down more than 20% on Wednesday following news of the streaming joint venture broke. The full statement is as follows:

Consumers have demonstrated that they want an aggregated sports, news and entertainment package differentiated by a quality product experience. This is what Fubo delivers. We have also continuously pushed the boundaries of live TV streaming with market-first features like 4K, multi viewing and AI products like our just-launched Instant Headlines.
The underlying motives and implication of this joint venture also command our scrutiny. Every consumer in America should be concerned about the intent behind this joint venture and its impact on fair market competition. This joint venture spotlights a concerning trend where an alliance with significant market share, reportedly controlling 60-85% of all sports content, could dictate market terms in a manner that may not serve the broader interests of consumers.
We believe our robust programming and quality product experience cannot be duplicated by what is likely to emerge from this joint venture.
