The more Comcast’s Brian Roberts and Disney’s Bob Iger duel over Rupert Murdoch’s Fox media empire, the better it could be for Netflix’s Reed Hastings.

Disney is launching a family-friendly Netflix rival next year with its own content. It also had been planning to use the content it was going to buy from 21st Century Fox, like its movies and TV shows, to fortify another streaming competitor, Hulu, which it partly owns. Combined with Disney’s sports streaming service, ESPN Plus, the Disney-Fox deal had the potential to set Disney up as a real force in the streaming world. Now, that’s in doubt because Comcast has bid to steal Fox out from under Disney.
