Disney is very, very close to securing its purchase of 21st Century Fox. Comcast and Disney have gone back and forth over purchasing Rupert Murdoch's empire since November, but Disney always appeared to have the lead.

Rumors of Disney purchasing Fox first sprouted in November, and Comcast joined the fray soon after.
