Reports: Comcast has proposed acquiring part of 21st Century Fox

Comcast has approached 21st Century Fox to propose an acquisition, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.

CNBC also reported that Comcast is interested in buying some of Fox’s assets. The Journal is owned by Fox and CNBC is a Comcast subsidiary.

CNBC reported earlier this month that Disney was also interested in acquiring much of Fox’s operations. On Thursday, the outlet said Comcast is interested in buying the same assets.

Any deal with Comcast could run into the same regulatory problems that AT&T is currently facing in its attempt to buy Time Warner. The Justice Department is reportedly prepared to sue to block that merger.
