Comcast has made a $65 billion all-cash bid for parts of 21st Century Fox, surpassing Disney's $52.4 billion stock-based offer. The bid is 19% higher than Disney's, potentially leading to a bidding war. The recent court decision allowing AT&T to acquire Time Warner has influenced Comcast's move. Disney is expected to respond, as it is in a strong position to compete. The deal includes significant assets like the 20th Century Fox movie and TV studio, international pay TV properties, and a stake in Sky.
