After Buying Fox, Disney Sets Its First Combined Upfront for May 14

Company will no longer participate in this year's NewFronts

One week after completing its $71.3 billion purchase of Fox, Disney has set plans for its first combined upfront event featuring its expanded portfolio—and also reversed course on its previously announced plans to participate in this year’s NewFronts.

On Tuesday, May 14, Disney will host its upfront presentation, featuring ABC, ESPN, Freeform, FX and National Geographic.

“We’re thrilled to host our first-ever combined upfront presentation for the 2019-20 season. We have some of the most iconic and inspirational storytelling in the industry and best-in-class brands,” said Rita Ferro, president of Disney ad sales, in a statement.
