quote:

alks between Disney and 21st Century Fox are heating up with a deal between the two media giants possibly getting done by next week, CNBC reported.

That's because in addition to Fox's movie and television studio, FX networks and Hulu, Disney would reportedly also assume control of Fox's 22 regional sports networks, which include both Fox Sports Ohio and SportsTime Ohio.


Fox would keep their national sports stuff but all the regional networks would shift to ESPN control.

This is the best move ESPN has made in awhile.

So all the people that jumped ship from espn will be subject to new round of Layoffs. I find this darkly comical.

The regional cable rights have been a cash cow. Baseball local ratings are usually pretty damned good and hold the audience well. I jut can't help but think that ESPN is going to frick it up somehow though.

Hmm...not sure what would change with FSN Midwest here. This could be good if I got to see more Elle Duncan or Katie Nolan, but I somehow doubt that would happen.

I wonder will they use this to build a Big 12 network and reel them back in?

I don't get this. ESPN is dying and Fox is growing.


Fox, please just take over ESPN.

Yay monopolies.

ESPN is only going to get worse without competition.
