Fox Corp.’s proposed $22 billion acquisition of streaming platform Roku is still under review by the U.S. Department of Justice. On Tuesday, the DOJ sends both Fox and Roku a request for additional information and documentary materials, commonly referred to as a “second request.” Fox says the request is consistent with expectations as part of the government’s antitrust assessment.
Across outlets, the accounts emphasize that this step involves companies providing more data and documents beyond the initial filing. TechCrunch and Variety describe the request as a standard process in major antitrust reviews, indicating the DOJ is taking a closer look at the deal. The Hollywood Reporter similarly reports that the government requests more information, framing it as part of the ongoing evaluation.
No outlet reports the DOJ raising objections or blocking the transaction at this stage. The focus remains on the procedural next step—additional document production—while the DOJ continues its review.
