Disney, Fox, Warner Bros drop Venu Sports appeal after Fubo merger deal

Streaming service FuboTV said on Monday it has agreed to end litigation against the three major media companies behind the live sports app Venu Sports after Walt Disney Co announced it would merge its Hulu + Live TV business with Fubo.

Disney, Fox and Warner Bros Discovery had been set to argue before the New York-based 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday that a judge’s decision to block Venu’s launch improperly denied consumers access to a new, lower-cost service.
