Disney, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery have pulled the plug on their collaborative sports streamer, Venu Sports — and with that, one of the biggest television stories of 2024 has come to an unceremonious end.
“After careful consideration, we have collectively agreed to discontinue the Venu Sports joint venture and not launch the streaming service,” the companies said in a Friday joint statement. “In an ever-changing marketplace, we determined that it was best to meet the evolving demands of sports fans by focusing on existing products and distribution channels. We are proud of the work that has been done on Venu to date and grateful to the Venu staff, whom we will support through this transition period.”
