Why the lawsuit?
in Biddle v. Disney(PDF) filed in 2022, plaintiffs alleged that Disney violated federal and state antitrust and consumer protection laws by forcing YouTube TV, DirecTV, and FuboTV subscribers to pay more for live TV. The $50 million settlement does not apply to the FuboTV plaintiffs, who have not yet reached a settlement with Disney.
The plaintiffs alleged that Disney forced streaming platforms to bundle content from expensive channels like ESPN and Hulu — both owned by Disney — into basic packages, thus escalating subscription prices for those packages. YouTube TV’s basic package subscription prices have allegedly increased from $35 to $65.
“Since Disney assumed operational control of Hulu in May 2019, prices across the SLPTV (live pay TV) market, including YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream, have nearly doubled,” the lawsuit alleged.
Disney denies violating any laws. There will be a hearing on January 14, 2027 for final approval of the settlement.
A Disney representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
