Disney's Acquisition of Fox Approved, but Must Sell Off 22 Regional Fox Sports Networks

Interesting news... but what is there about it that relates to Apple in any way? How is this a MacRumor?

This is absolutely pushing it, but my guess is that because Disney has a seat on Apple's Board of Directors (or the other way around, I don't remember) and since Steve Jobs was a board member of the company, I... guess this would count?

It makes no sense whatsoever, but that's where I think is why this is on MacRumors.

Agreed, but it's pretty bling. I miss the Steinbrenner days, got to see Thurman Munson's last game - I still have my memories. FWIW, I do root for the Sox. Good baseball is great baseball! Except for the Dodgers... Cheers, and not Bronx Cheers!

The rivalry is quite fun this year. Looking forward to the upcoming series a lot.

If this buyout does go ahead, it’ll be very interesting for the TV space, because Fox support the HDR10+ standard, not the Dolby one, so I wonder if that means Disney will also support HDR10+?

Isn't This is us owned by NBC?

NBC airs it and has it as part of its shows, but Fox is the production and distribution company for it.

So who's next for the Disney acquisition machine? Sony?
