It’s important to note what isn’t included in the deal. Fox will spin out some assets into a new company. These assets include Fox News, Fox Broadcasting network and stations, Fox Business Network, FS1, FS2, and the Big Ten Network. This new company also retains ownership of the 50-plus acre studio lot in Los Angeles. Deadline reports, “Insiders expect the remaining Fox assets to eventually merge with News Corp., whose holdings include the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post, and the Times of London. Though that combination won’t occur immediately.”
Note to self: Keep ignoring the Wall Street Journal.
No, the fox news channels and fox business was not part of that acquisition. Channels like FX and National Geographic films that were made by 21st Century Fox were part of the acquisition.
But I thought Fox News sold off its channels to Disney.
There’s Fox “News” and 20c Fox/Fox Sports etc.Technically started in the same place, but the non-news side got sold off.
I don’t think that included the “news” portions of their machine. https://uproxx.com/movies/disney-fox-merger-official-press-release/
