Disney-Fox-WBD Streaming Joint Venture Gets A Name: Venu Sports


The sports streaming joint venture from Disney, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery has a name: Venu Sports.

The service expects to launch this fall in the U.S., though it faces a legal challenge from pay-TV company Fubo and resistance from some corners of the industry and federal government. “As preparations for the platform continue to accelerate, we are singularly focused on delivering a best-in-class product for our target audience, built from the ground up using the latest technologies to engage and entertain discerning sports fans wanting one-stop access to live games.” While today’s announcement said the service is “on track” for the fall launch, it also noted that its commercial availability hinges on “regulatory approval and the finalization of definitive agreements amongst the parties.”
