In a surprising deal announced on Monday, Disney is set to combine its Hulu Live TV business with Fubo, the live TV streaming service known for its extensive sports coverage. Under the terms of the deal, Disney will own about 70% of Fubo, which will continue to be available to viewers as a separate offering.

Disney announced a deal with pay-TV provider Fubo to combine Hulu + Live TV with Fubo's operations in a joint venture, ending Fubo's Venu lawsuit.

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.
