Fox Corp., Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. and Walt Disney Co. should be barred from forming a joint sports streaming service because it would drive away competitors and force consumers to pay higher prices to watch live events, FuboTV Inc. told a federal judge.
Fubo sued the companies in February, arguing the venture would block competitors from offering a product with a package of sports channels only. Fubo claims the three are leveraging their control of the rights to coveted leagues to force rivals to license and distribute dozens of less popular general entertainment channels, if those competitors want to carry networks such as ESPN and Fox.
