Venu Sports is under scrutiny by US politicians

Three US politicians — Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Bernie Sanders (I-VT), as well as Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) — are calling on law enforcement to investigate Venu Sports, a streaming service created by Disney , Fox, and Warner Bros. The venture is due to launch this fall, and will include popular sports channels such as ESPN and TNT. That risks a monopoly in US sports broadcasting, the politicians say in a letter sent to Justice Department antitrust czar Jonathan Kanter and Federal Communications Commission Chair Jessica Rosenworcel, as reported by The Athletic.
