Much like Disney, Comcast wants to “explore talks” to buy Fox’s movie and TV studio, as well as some of its cable networks, and its stakes in satellite TV provider Sky, Star India, and Hulu.
The Fox News channels, Fox Sports, The Fox Broadcasting Co., and local stations would not be included in the sale.
However, any momentum on that deal has to deal with Comcast, who is also looking to make a bid on Fox.
Comcast owns NBCUniversal, and it is not permitted for one company to own and operate two broadcast television networks.
