Comcast is quarreling with Disney over its decision not to expand Hulu internationally.
After Comcast found out that Disney quietly blocked Comcast’s ability to make major decisions about Hulu, the WSJ reports they made a deal saying Disney would continue to “aggressively” expand the streaming service.
However, Disney never brought Hulu to international markets and only released the service under its Star branding in foreign countries. This reportedly set off an arbitration dispute, as the two also wrangle over a buyout to end their shared ownership and for how much.
Disclosure: Comcast is an investor in Vox Media, The Verge’s parent company.
