Law firm will investigate Hulu + Live TV and Fubo merger

Law firm will investigate Hulu + Live TV and Fubo merger

Halper Sadeh LLC says it wants to ensure Fubo shareholders are being properly considered and informed during the merger process.

Known for breaking major streaming stories, he’s covered everything from Netflix policy shifts to Peacock’s ad-tier changes. A sci-fi fan and Toshiba Fire TV user, he brings sharp analysis and a love for the genre to his reporting.

A transaction the size of the Fubo and Hulu + Live TV was bound to draw some scrutiny. The two companies announced on Monday that their live TV streaming services would come under the same corporate banner in 2025, but one New York-area law firm has already announced it will be taking a look at the proposed deal to see if it runs afoul of the best interests of Fubo’s shareholders.

Key Details:

  • The merger of Fubo and Hulu + Live TV is subject to shareholder and regulatory approval.
  • Halper Sadeh LLC says it’s investigating to ensure Fubo shareholders are getting a fair deal.
  • Paramount’s merger with Skydance has been hit with multiple objections and even lawsuits.

In the immediate aftermath of the announcement that Fubo and Hulu + Live TV would merge, law firm Halper Sadeh LLC said it was launching an investigation into the question of whether Fubo violated any laws or breached any fiduciary duties to shareholders by failing to “disclose all material information necessary for FuboTV shareholders to adequately assess and value the merger consideration.”

The firm is encouraging Fubo shareholders to learn more about their rights and options, saying that another goal of its investigation is to make sure the live TV streaming company did everything it could to “obtain the best possible consideration for FuboTV shareholders” before entering into the deal with Disney.

“On behalf of FuboTV shareholders, Halper Sadeh LLC may seek increased consideration for shareholders, additional disclosures and information concerning the proposed transaction, or other relief and benefits,” the press release announcing the investigation says.

The deal between Fubo and Hulu + Live TV is subject to both regulatory and shareholder approval, but the two sides seem confident that they won’t face many hang-ups. But Disney and Fubo might want to have an eye on the Paramount merger with Skydance, which has already been the target of one shareholder lawsuit thus far.

Halper Sadeh LLC’s investigation won’t automatically lead to a lawsuit, but it could make things more complicated for Disney and Fubo going forward. It’s also not yet clear if government regulators will step in to try to stop the merger, though most analysts doubt that type of interference will be an issue.

    For many other sports enthusiasts, particularly those who prioritize access to local sports broadcasts, Fubo is a compelling choice in our view. Featuring FanDuel Sports RSNs in its channel lineup, Fubo stands out as the most budget-friendly option for RSN access across numerous markets, including Altitude, AT&T Sports, Fox Sports, Marquee, MSG, NBC Sports, and NESN. (Explore the comprehensive list of Fubo’s sports channels.) Fubo recently launched an add-on to their sports package, allowing subscribers access to local RSNs as well.

  • Hulu Live TV

    Hulu Live TV is a live TV streaming service with more than 70 channels for $89.99 per month. Hulu + Live TV base plan includes local channels 32 of the top 35 cable channels, and regional sports networks (RSNs). Subscribers get free access to Disney+ and ESPN Select at no extra charge.

    …

    Where it really separates itself is value. Your subscription doesn’t just cover live TV — it also includes full access to Hulu’s on-demand library, plus bundled subscriptions to Disney+ and ESPN Select content at no extra cost. That means you’re getting everything from next-day network TV episodes and Hulu Originals, to Marvel, Star Wars, and live sports content all in one place without juggling multiple bills.

    For sports fans, Hulu + Live TV also includes regional sports networks (RSNs) in select areas, a feature many competing services have dropped. That can be a big deal if you’re trying to follow local MLB, NBA, or NHL teams.

    The DVR experience is another strong point. Subscribers get unlimited cloud DVR storage and the ability to fast-forward through commercials on recorded content — a feature that used to cost extra but is now standard. It’s designed to feel closer to a traditional cable DVR, just without the box.

    If you want to customize further, several add-ons are available. You can upgrade to premium channels like HBO, Showtime, or Starz, add an unlimited streams option for households with lots of viewers, or go ad-free on Hulu’s on-demand content (live TV will still include ads).

    Overall, Hulu + Live TV is less about being the cheapest option and more about being the most comprehensive. It’s built for people who want live TV, on-demand shows, and bundled streaming services all under one roof — without having to piece everything together themselves.
