November 17. Sources revealed on Thursday that Comcast has been in contact with 21st Century Fox and expressed its intention to acquire part of 21st Century Fox.

according to a source, negotiations between the two sides are still in progress.

sources say Comcast is interested in buying the same stake as Disney proposed earlier this year. Just a few days ago, Disney said it would buy a majority stake in 21st Century Fox.

CNBC quoted sources last week as saying that 21st Century Fox had been in talks with Disney about selling a majority stake in the company to Disney. It is said that if the deal with Disney succeeds, 21st Century Fox will leave only the news and sports business behind.

sources also said that of course, Comcast's acquisition of some of the 21st Century Fox assets will also face regulatory problems, which is the same as the difficulties faced by Disney in acquiring some of the 21st Century Fox assets.

according to US regulatory policy, Disney cannot have two broadcast networks, so Comcast will face the same problem. Sources told CNBC that neither Comcast nor Disney is talking about acquiring all the assets of 21st Century Fox.

judging from the current situation, whether it is Comcast or Disney, if the two companies want to reach a deal with 21st Century Fox, they will not consider buying Fox's news and sports news broadcasting business. because they all worry about violating the antitrust law of the United States.

affected by the above news, 21st Century Fox shares rose more than 6% in after-hours trading on Thursday, while Comcast shares rose slightly by about 0.75%, and Disney shares even fell slightly.

although CNBC claimed on Friday that negotiations between Disney and 21st Century Fox had been terminated, the possibility of a deal between the two sides was not completely blocked.

Verizon Communications also wants to buy a stake in 21st Century Fox, according to news released by Dow Jones after the close of the US stock market on Thursday. A source also told Reuters that Verizon is currently initially exploring the possibility of the deal.
