17. Probably using all that $$$ from the Star Wars franchise
Mon Nov 6, 2017, 06:35 PM
Nov 2017

which was produced by "20th Century Fox" 40 years ago. And over the past 20+ years, you had Viacom/CBS buy Paramount Studios, Disney (and Studios) bought ABC, Comcast bought NBC/Universal Studios, and Time-Warner/Warner Brothers Studios undulates as it waits for an ATT buyout that has been interestingly delayed (which is odd given the crew in the current administration). Obviously 21st Century Fox Studios was hanging out there with Fox, run by someone who gave his all, got what he wanted in terms of destroying the minds of millions, so his work is done.

But the FCC might end up intervening unless there is an argument that the cable and streaming services ARE the "remaining competition".
