Fox reportedly in talks to acquire Roku for $160 per share in $22B deal

A potential tie-up could extend Fox’s content distribution while sharpening competition across the streaming market, according to the report’s framing.

Fact Check
The official Fox Corporation press release confirms Fox is acquiring Roku for exactly $160.00 per share in a $22 billion deal, matching the claim's financial terms precisely. Multiple independent outlets (CNBC, CBS) corroborate. The only inaccuracy is the claim's framing as 'reportedly in talks' — in reality a definitive agreement was signed and publicly announced, which is a stronger status than the claim implies. The core acquisition terms are fully accurate.
