Fox Closes $22 Billion Roku Acquisition

Fox has closed its $22 billion Roku acquisition, adding a platform reaching more than 100 million households. DOJ approval requires three years of carrying rival content and fair search and home-screen placement, plus third-party audience-data access and protections for competitors’ sensitive data through at least 2029. These safeguards make platform access a concrete issue for U.S. distributors, though compliance and film-distribution effects remain untested.
