In July, Comcast lost out to Disney in a bid to buy Fox. Home to popular franchises like X-Men, Deadpool, The Simpsons and more, Fox's entertainment assets could benefit Disney significantly. Disney is looking to launch its own streaming service by the end of next year.

Comcast didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on the Sky acquisition. Earlier this year, CEO Brian Roberts highlighted Sky's 23 million customers and leading market position in the UK, Italy, and Germany and said in a statement that Sky had been "a consistent innovator in its use of technology to deliver a fantastic viewing experience and has a proud record of investment in news and programming."
