FuboTV Sues Disney-Fox-WBD Over New Sports Streamer

Responding to a proposed new sports streaming service, FuboTV, the sports focused virtual pay TV provider has filed a lawsuit against the three companies involved –Walt Disney, Fox Corp.
and Warner Bros. Discovery  — who have engaged in “anti-competitive practices” towards Fubo’s business.

The company seeks to block the proposed channel,
Fubo is asking for a jury trial and punitive damages. 

David Gandler, cofounder/CEO of FuboTV says in a release: “Each of these companies has
consistently engaged in anticompetitive practices that aim to monopolize the market, stifle any form of competition, create higher pricing for subscribers and cheat consumers from deserved
choice.”

The lawsuit says right now it is being charged with “above-market prices.” Down the line it is believed media companies will go further not making
their content available to Fubo and others.

Fubo TV seems to be referencing all the ESPN cable sports channels (owned by Walt Disney), as well as FX Sports (Fox Corp)
and TNT (Warner Bros. Discovery).

In addition, the lawsuits says the companies will use their “power over commercially critical sports content to force Fubo to
broadcast unwanted, expensive content that prevents Fubo from offering the sports-centric package of channels that its customers want.”  

The lawsuit did not
disclose what that “expensive” content would be.

Fubo has more than 200 channels and 1.5 million subscribers in North America. Since the news of the new
sports streaming service two weeks ago, Fubo shares have plummeted by 26%. It closed on Tuesday at $2.00.
