Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery & Fox Officially Lose Latest Move To Kill Venu Sports Streaming Suit From Fubo; Trial Still On For 2025
No Gold, Silver or Bronze medal for the Mouse House, WBD & Fox In legal efforts to get their Venu Sports streaming service up & running
Right now, having already blown through Venu’s planned August launch date because of their inability to sack Fubo TV’s February filed antitrust suit, ESPN and Hulu owners Disney, Max-owner WBD and Fox will now face an October 6 starting trial next year in Judge Garnett’s NYC courtroom. With nothing on the field or court yet, Venu’s trinity of backers, which have spent more than $50 million together preparing the now stunted service to go live, filed an appeal to the Second Circuit over Judge Garnett’s summer stunner against them granting Fubo’s request for a preliminary injunction. As but two examples, Netflix is now teaming up with the NFL for live game, including on Christmas Day, and WBD lost its NBA contract with no more than scraps after settling a separate lawsuit against the Adam Silver-run bball league.
