Disney-FuboTV could be first deal in busy media M&A year

It was a busy week in the streaming space with Disney (DIS) set to combine Hulu + Live TV with FuboTV (FUBO), while Disney's ESPN, Fox (FOX, FOXA), and Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) scrapped plans for their joint sports streaming service, Venu Sports. With an uptick in media industry mergers and acquisitions (M&As) expected in 2025, Solomon Partners partner and head of media Mark Boidman sits down with Asking for a Trend Host Josh Lipton to discuss what investors can expect. "The media market continues to change so rapidly," Boidman says, noting he expects more media deals in 2025. "It's all about scale and consumers are looking to reach great content, and content is more and more expensive. So, having the scale [and] bringing content together is easier. It also allows legacy media, [like] broadcast and cable network TV, to hold on to some of their assets." Watch the video above to learn more about what Boidman expects from the media M&A market in 2025, including streaming consolidation efforts, the regulatory environment under Trump 2.0, and Comcast's (CMCSA) spin-offs.

Disney's Fubo deal bolsters position in live TV market

Disney (DIS) is set to merge Hulu+ Live TV with Fubo (FUBO) in a surprise deal announced Monday. Wedbush equity research managing director Michael Pachter joins Julie Hyman and Josh Lipton on Market Domination to discuss what it means for the company's live TV offerings. Patcher compares the Disney-Fubo deal with T-Mobile (TMUS) merging with Sprint to become "a very strong number three," adding, "Hulu and Disney are very powerful, and I think there's a great combination." The addition of Fubo to Disney's live TV options bolsters the company's position to compete with YouTube, owned by Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL). "I'm really encouraged that the Fubo guys are in charge of this combined enterprise. They have had to kind of survive in an environment where they were outgunned, outmanned, out capitalized, and now they're getting a big balance sheet behind them." Watch the video above to learn more about the analyst's expectations for media dealmaking in 2025 as President-elect Donald Trump is set to return to the White House.
