Breaking Disney has acquired 21st Century Fox’s film and TV studios in a landmark deal

So Hotstar to be withdrawn?

It will continue....No chance of Hotstar shutdown or Star Channels rebranding to Disney

I wasn't able to follow this till now on a regular basis..

Therefore can anyone clear my doubts?

I would like to know if Star India is now under Disney and what about Star Sports & Hotstar...

And what will happen to Sony ESPN?

Star India channels, Hotstar, Fox Star studios and all other assets owned by 21CF will be transferred to Walt Disney company.Disney channels and UTV etc will meet them. But in India Star is a major brand than current Disney no chances for a mass re-branding. Also Star India's management will have the major control over the whole unit in India.Espn may join with star or exit india post expiry of contract with Sony.

So it means now Star India is not the old one and now it is new one controlled by disney?

Yes Star will be now be under Walt Disney but Star India Chairman is Now Walt Disney President Including he'll be Disney India Chairman also so no changes will happen to star India

Yes, 21st century fox website now redirects to either new 'Fox' website or Walt Disney website
21CF - The Walt Disney Company
Hotstar, Hulu, FX and National Geographic added in Disney corporate website.


Website is updating with more fox properties..

Yes, very soon we will see Star India, Hooq, ESPN contents on new OTT platform of Disney called Disney+

In India that will not happen. It will co exist along hotstar

 

[Aksgr]

I think hotstar would be sports content accessible worldwide ( fox sports, star sports....) And Hulu the show content( all Disney and fox channels).
For India they may launch Hulu India app. And turn hotstar for only sports and make it a premium app

 

[Raju lal]

So Disney has started showing true colors.
Edit : Wait until Disney and Fox Star studios merges. Then you'll get to know.

I am eager to know what will be that. Can you say?
