I don’t think TV is part of the deal, so they wouldn’t get The Simpsons.

The Murdochs would hold on to the Fox network itself since Disney owning more than one of the “big four” (they already own ABC) would violate antitrust regulations.

Why doesn’t anti-trust apply to major film studios as well? Is six considered more than enough?

NBC, ABC, and CBS are different… for reasons. There’s historically been more government regulation for TV/radio than film.
