1:01Now PlayingFox 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.
On Tuesday, lawyers for Fubo appeared before US District Judge Margaret Garnett in Manhattan for a multi-day hearing on whether to issue a preliminary injunction. Fubo is seeking an order that would temporarily prevent the trio from proceeding with the joint venture or enforcing any contractual provisions that would stop Fubo from offering a competitive service while the lawsuit proceeds.
