The Walt Disney Company, and Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc., Defendants. Civil Action No.: 1:18-cv-05800 (CM)(KNF) COMPLAINT The United States of America, acting under the direction of the Attorney General of the United States, brings this civil action to enjoin the acquisition by The Walt Disney Company (‘‘Disney’’) of certain assets and businesses of Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc. (‘‘Fox’’) and to obtain other equitable relief. I. NATURE OF THE ACTION 1. Cable sports programming is one of the most popular forms of entertainment in the United States. Disney’s proposed acquisition of Fox’s assets would combine two of the country’s most valuable cable sports properties— Disney’s ESPN franchise of networks and Fox’s portfolio of Regional Sports Networks (‘‘RSNs’’)—and thereby likely substantially lessen competition in the multiple Designated Market Areas (‘‘DMAs’’) throughout the United States in which these two firms compete. 2. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 13, 2017, as amended on June 20, 2018, Disney agreed to acquire certain assets and businesses, including Fox’s ownership E:\FR\FM\15AUN1.SGM 15AUN1
