Summary
Both companies promise the addition of Twenty-First Century Fox will have significant value for the company and shareholders.
Ownership of Twenty-First Century Fox and Sky would give either company a huge share of television.
The acquisition of Twenty-First Century Fox will bring great intellectual property rights, helping either Disney or Comcast to produce even more top content.
Since December of 2017 it has been in discussion that The Walt Disney Company (DIS) would acquire most of Twenty-First Century Fox’s (FOX) (NASDAQ:FOXA) assets. Since then, Comcast (CMCSA) has thrown in a bid for Twenty-First Century Fox as well. On top of that, Twenty-First Century Fox and Comcast are in a bidding war for the European television company Sky. The acquisitions of these companies will give either Comcast or Disney a much larger share of the television market.
