Its a discussion forum and as such I post my views , let's be honest this is something none of us on here can fully predict.
The reasoning I give for Disney/Fox not removing all it's content from platforms over here is as follows.
The streaming service will launch by the end of 2019 if all goes to plan which you'd imagine will happen first in the United States. All the pay platforms still have Disney and Fox channels available on their platforms not only that many have their content available on their OTT services.
As an example of this Comcast Xfinity Stream has Disney Channel , FX , National Geographic
, ESPN and Fox Sports.
I'm not trying to completely discount the article I just don't buy into all Disney/Fox content being removed from pay platforms whilst the Movies clearly impact Sky every other UK platform take some form of Disney/Fox content.
It's a wait and see I guess but a question for you , if as you say all Disney/Fox content becomes only available directly through them why we not hearing more noise from the US about platforms battling to agree to keep rights to their channels.
