(CNN) — Disney will acquire Comcast’s one-third stake in Hulu for an expected $8.61 billion, the company said Wednesday, in a deal that will put the streaming service entirely inside the Magic Kingdom when the transaction closes later this year.“The acquisition of Comcast’s stake in Hulu at fair market value will further Disney’s streaming objectives,” the company said in a short statement.Wednesday’s deal brings to an end long-running speculation about the fate of Hulu, but still requires an appraisal process that is expected to be completed in 2024 to further assess the streaming service’s fair value before a final sale price tag is agreed upon.“We look forward to the appraisal process and the determination of Hulu’s fair market value which we expect will reflect the extraordinary value of the business,” Comcast said in a statement.Disney’s bid to acquire the remaining shares in the platform began in 2019 under an agreement between the two companies that gave Hulu a value of at le...

LEESBURG, Fla. (WSVN) — A Lee County family’s peaceful nights have turned into a nightmare as relentless bear break-ins continue, leaving a mother feeling unsafe in her own home.

Sayers, a mother of four, resides on a serene street near Orlando, but lately, tranquility has been elusive due to the constant presence of three bold bears who have repeatedly invaded her home. “There’s times when my husband leaves for work early in the morning and it’s dark out and there’s a bear on the other side of my side door over here and he can’t leave because he’s trapped by this bear,” explained Sayers. The marauding bears have been spotted rummaging through trash cans and attempting to access the family’s residence. Their auda...

Listen to the last new Beatles’ song with John, Paul, George, Ringo and AI tech: ‘Now and Then’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:42:37 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The final Beatles recording is here.Titled “Now and Then,” the almost impossible-to-believe track is four minutes and eight seconds of the first and only original Beatles recording of the 21st century. There’s a countdown, then acoustic guitar strumming and piano bleed into the unmistakable vocal tone of John Lennon in the song’s introduction: “I know it’s true / It’s all because of you / And if I make it through / It’s all because of you.”More than four decades since Lennon’s murder and two since George Harrison’s death, the very last Beatles song has been released as a double A-side single with “Love Me Do,” the band’s 1962 debut single.“Now and Then” comes from the same batch of unreleased demos written by Lennon in the 1970s, which were given to his former bandmates by Yoko Ono. They used the tape to construct the songs “Free As a Bird” and “Real Love,” released in the mid-1990s. But there were technical limita...
