DANIEL FRANKEL: Happy Friday, D. Just got off a conference call replay from earlier this morning with Fubo and its CEO, David Gandler. He seemed to come off a bit hyperbolic to start, calling the Spulu JV members a “cartel” who are executing “borderline racketeering.” Then Gandler rattled off the basis for the vMVPD’s antitrust suit. It does sound infuriating to have the whole pay TV bundle shoved down your throat, only to have the same guys doing the shoving turn around and break all the rules for a new competing service. Got to admit, sounds like Fubo has a case here.
