Fubo settled its suit last week, paving the way for Venu Sports to debut, but the partners shuttered it anyway. It had lost momentum and risked new litigation from satellite broadcasters Dish and DirecTV, with the latter announcing a skinny sports bundle earlier today. Fubo is also going offer them.

The lawsuit claims that Disney's ownership of ESPN "enables it to extract monopoly rents" and the company imposes anticompetitive terms on rivals.

After Disney pulled the plug on sports-streaming service Venu last week, a Fubo subscriber filed a proposed class action suit in New York federal court on Tuesday, alleging that the media giant has violated antitrust laws as both a content supplier and a distributor.

Fubo had successfully delayed the launch of a new sports streaming service owned by Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery, and Fox.

The deal will create a streaming multichannel video service that is second only to YouTube in scale, while potentially allowing the Venu service to move forward.
