The market for national cable subscriptions is concentrated among a few key players: Direct TV, Dish Network, YouTube TV, and Hulu with Live TV. Disney's Hulu, which they acquired through a $70 billion purchase of Fox assets in 2018, and its co-ownership of Fubo, the streaming service renowned for live sports, place Disney at the heart of this ecosystem.
Interestingly, Disney owns about 70% of Fubo, positioning the company as a significant player in internet-based live sports streaming. This ownership is strategic, offering Disney an alternative pathway should they decide to pull their content from YouTube TV, which they are allegedly considering.
