Disney Buys 21st Century Fox for $71.3B
Why Disney Bought Fox—and How It Changed Streaming
Disney didn't buy 21st Century Fox just to get bigger—it did it to win the streaming race. We walk through what Disney bought (from Avatar to The Simpsons, plus control of Hulu and Hotstar), why Fox kept live news and sports, and how a bidding fight with Comcast drove the price to $71.3B. We also explain the regulator fixes, the debt Disney took on, the culture clash after the merger, and what it all means for Hollywood, competition, and the shows we watch.
