Disney isn't focused on making its namesake streamer into a hub for park tickets and merch, a top exec said. Gary Hershorn/Getty Images; Illustration by Jaque Silva/NurPhoto via Getty Images Disney isn't currently building a "super app" beyond streaming, a top exec said. "There is nothing on the road map about bringing either cruises or the parks into this," he said. Instead, he said Disney is focused on integrating Hulu into Disney+.

"At the moment, I can definitively say there is nothing on the road map about bringing either cruises or the parks into this," Smith said in the meeting, according to a recording obtained...

Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch is making a major acquisition that will boost his company's streaming presence. Bloomberg/Getty Images Fox is pushing further into free, ad-supported streaming by buying Roku. Acquiring Roku's free streamer will give Fox a larger US TV viewership share than Netflix. Netflix is still far more valuable than a Fox-Roku combo because of its paid subscription business. Fox mostly sat out the streaming wars, but it could soon surpass Netflix in US TV viewership anyway. Buying Roku would make Fox the third-largest TV distributor in the US by monthly viewership, according to Nielsen's March data (or fourth-largest if Paramount Skydance secures control of Warner Bros. Discovery). How did that happen? It mostly comes down to viewership growth in the free streaming business, which both Fox and Roku have focused on. Fox would have a 10% US TV viewership share across its broadcast network, cable channels like Fox News and Fox Business, its free streamer Tubi , a...
