Disney's Fubo Deal Is Another Brilliant Move by Iger

Disney is trading Hulu Live for a 70% stake in Fubo.

By Travis Hoium – Jan 7, 2025 at 3:59PM EST

Hulu is critical to Disney's (DIS 0.15%) streaming strategy, but the Hulu Live cable business wasn't part of those long-term plans. Instead of shutting it down, Bob Iger traded Hulu Live for a 70% stake in Fubo (FUBO +0.00%), which will be the second-largest digital cable provider in the U.S. In this video, Travis Hoium explains why this is such a big deal.
