The situation surrounding Venu Sports and the potential preliminary injunction is becoming intriguing. Based on the recent hearings in Fubo’s antitrust trial against Venu, it appears that the possibility of obtaining a preliminary injunction is being seriously considered. Judge Margaret Garnett’s concern about the significant influence wielded by an alliance of media giants—Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery—adds weight to the discussion.
A preliminary injunction could keep the $42.99-a-month service from launching this fall as planned.
Preliminary injunctions are legally challenging to secure, but Fubo is making a compelling argument. They contend that Venu’s launch could cause them “irreparable harm,” surpassing what a mere damages verdict could address. Interestingly, this case highlights a historical twist: Disney, Fox, and WBD previously resisted allowing pay TV operators to bundle only sports channels, yet they now find themselves bundling their own sports content.
As the legal battle continues, the fate of Venu Sports hangs in the balance.
