The combination creates the second-biggest internet pay-TV company in North America, behind YouTube TV, with around $6 billion in revenue and 6.2 million subscribers.

Disney will hold a 70% majority stake in the venture, which will be led by Fubo chief executive and co-founder David Gandler. The deal excludes Hulu's mainstay video-streaming business.
