Unfortunately, pricing and a more specific launch date had not been announced

This delay may be due to competing factors Shortly after the joint streaming venture was announced, the trio of companies were sued by "Sports First" streaming service Fubo

The antitrust lawsuit was just recently set for a preliminary injunction hearing on 8/7 This could be a difficult battle for the company, as Fubo is playing against 3 companies with powerful law firms

Earlier this month, Fubo partnered with DirectTV and Dish Network to call on Congress to review the state of competition in the pay-TV market They view the Disney/Fox Corp/Warner Bros as a particularly serious concernI mentioned Discovery partnership

At the same time, the Justice Department plans to probably review the venture and consider anti-competitive practices On May 4, 2 congressional Democrats expressed concern that Venu was anti-competitive

Comcast has just announced the Netflix-Peacock-Apple TV+ streaming bundle, and a cable-like bundle is rapidly going on, whether Congress is involved or not
