Not included in the acquisition: Fox News, the Fox broadcast network and the FS1 sports cable channel. Mr. Murdoch said he would spin those businesses and a handful of other properties, including the 20th Century Fox lot in Hollywood, which Disney is not buying, into a newly listed company.

So I wonder what this means for HDR10+. Wasn't Fox the only major studio behind HDR10+? Is Disney not a supporter of Dolby Vision? Granted none of their UHD discs have DV, could Disney switch to HDR10+ support or is this more likely a blow to getting HDR10+ on disc and players? Interesting
