Comcast Makes $65 Billion All-Cash Bid For Fox

Fox has been the subject of an ongoing bidding war between the two companies since even before the December announcement that <a href="https://ift.tt/2sWsKit and Fox had reached a deal</a> for the former to acquire a large portion of the latter's assets. While Fox would retain things like the Fox broadcast network, Fox Sports, and Fox News - with plans to spin those off into a new smaller company called simply New Fox - Disney would absorb Fox's movie and TV studios, as well as cable networks like FX, and Fox's stake in streaming service Hulu.</p><p>Clearly, acquiring all of those Fox assets would be a huge win for any company big enough to afford the purchase, so it's really not hard to see why Comcast is so dead set on coming out on top in this fight with Disney.
