ACA Connects Supports DOJ Antitrust Look at Sports Streaming Joint Venture

ACA Connects is applauding a DOJ antitrust investigation into the ESPN/Fox/Warner Bros. Discovery sports streaming joint venture (see 2402070006). "This is exactly what should happen," ACA said Thursday. "It’s anticompetitive for the biggest media players to join forces while locking out traditional linear video providers, including our Members from offering the same packages at the same prices. Fans deserve a level playing field in the sports media landscape without the threat of these giants controlling the marketplace and jacking up prices.” Bloomberg reported the investigation.
