Comcast is ready to throw a wrench in that plan. It is talking to investment banks about usurping the Disney-Fox deal, three sources with knowledge of the matter told CNN's Dylan Byers. Comcast (CMCSA) would make an offer worth about $60 billion for the same assets Fox agreed to sell to Disney. That's about $8 billion more than Disney offered.
News of Comcast's anticipated bid was first reported late Monday by Reuters.
The jockeying between Disney and Comcast for more media assets makes sense. American consumers are cutting their cable subscriptions and spending more time online with services like Netflix (NFLX), so legacy companies are looking for ways to scale their business and build influence.
It's not the first time Comcast has shown interest in Fox. The company considered a bid for most of Fox's assets late last year, but dropped out in mid-December.

Buffett also stuck by his long-term commitment to Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE: WFC) which now amounts to about 10% of the bank’s outstanding stock. He almost seemed to excuse the fake account scandal with a comment that what happened at Wells Fargo could have happened to any bank.
