Chapters
Venue Sports, a much-hyped streaming service intended to be a one-stop platform for all sports, failed to launch. Its demise was partly due to legal challenges from Fubo and the complex landscape of sports rights and streaming services.
  • Venue Sports was a joint venture between Warner Brothers Discovery, Fox, and Disney/ESPN.
  • Fubo TV sued Venue Sports, claiming antitrust violations and unfair competition.
  • The lawsuit and other factors led to Venue Sports shutting down before its official launch.
  • Fubo TV subsequently reached a settlement with Disney and will now operate Hulu + Live TV.
  • Fubo also plans to launch its own sports-focused streaming bundle.

Shownotes Transcript

First in this episode, a quick update on the TikTok ban (which didn't turn out to be much of a ban at all.) Then, Sportico's Jacob Feldman joins the show to talk about Venu, the much-hyped streaming service that planned to bring all sports into a single platform — and never even managed to launch. After that, The Verge's Kevin Nguyen tells us how to read more books this year, and how to turn all your aimless scrolling time into more productive reading time. Finally, we answer a question on the Vergecast Hotline about audio sources on your phone, and why you can't listen to a thousand things at once.
