- After a court ruling has allowed it (and without restrictions), Time Warner, not to be confused with Time Warner Cable which is now part of Spectrum, has been purchased by AT&T.

- As a direct result of AT&T's purchase of Time Warner, Comcast has dropped a massive bid to purchase much of 20th Century Fox, including Fox, FX, FXX, FXM, Star Wars: A New Hope, and the X-Men and Fantastic Four franchises.
