Company Description
Fox Corporation (NASDAQ: FOX) is a media company in the television broadcasting and information sector. According to its public communications, Fox Corporation produces and distributes news, sports, and entertainment content through a set of primary domestic brands that it describes as iconic. The company’s Class A and Class B common stock trade on the Nasdaq under the symbols FOXA and FOX.
Core business and primary brands
Fox Corporation states that its business centers on creating and distributing content across news, sports, and entertainment. Its main brands include FOX News Media, FOX Sports, Tubi Media Group, FOX Entertainment, and FOX Television Stations. The company describes these brands as having cultural significance for consumers and commercial importance for distributors and advertisers. This positioning reflects a focus on content that attracts large audiences and advertising partners.
In earlier descriptions, Fox has explained that it operates in two major segments: cable networks and television. The cable networks segment has included Fox News, Fox Business, and pay TV sports channels. The television segment has included the FOX broadcast network, a portfolio of owned and operated local television stations, and the streaming platform Tubi. Tubi is described as an ad-supported video-on-demand (AVOD) service that is not subscription-based, indicating a focus on advertising revenue rather than subscription fees.
News, sports, and entertainment focus
Fox Corporation emphasizes that its portfolio allows it to deliver content that engages and informs audiences while supporting deeper consumer relationships. The company highlights an ongoing focus on news, sports, and entertainment, and notes that its brands have commercial importance for distributors and advertisers. In its own descriptions, Fox points to what it calls an impressive track record of news, sports, and entertainment industry success, and indicates that this experience shapes its strategy to build on existing strengths and invest in new initiatives.
Within its television operations, Fox has reported that advertising revenues are influenced by digital growth led by the Tubi AVOD service, as well as sports pricing and ratings. The company has also noted that distribution revenues in its cable network programming and television segments are driven by contractual price increases and fees from distributors and affiliates. These disclosures illustrate how Fox connects audience engagement and content performance to advertising and distribution revenue streams.
Digital and streaming activities
Fox Corporation identifies Tubi Media Group as the home of its digital businesses and streaming services. Tubi Media Group oversees platforms and services including Tubi, FOX One, Red Seat Ventures, AdRise and Credible. The group is tasked with overseeing Fox’s digital growth strategy and managing core platforms and systems, product engineering teams, research and development, and the Office of the CTO. This structure underscores Fox’s focus on digital distribution and technology in addition to traditional broadcasting.
Fox has also highlighted partnerships that expand its digital and streaming footprint. For example, Tubi Media Group, as a division of Fox Corporation, announced a multi-year agreement with Audiochuck for exclusive distribution and advertising sales rights on several top-rated true crime podcasts. The deal includes development of a Crime Junkie FAST (free ad-supported streaming television) channel to be distributed across Fox’s streaming platforms Tubi and FOX One, as well as third-party platforms, and an on-demand collection of video podcast episodes. This illustrates how Fox uses its streaming platforms and commercial expertise to work with independent media companies and creators.
Corporate structure and capital markets
Fox Corporation is incorporated in Delaware and files periodic and current reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The company has both Class A and Class B common stock, each with a par value of $0.01 per share. In its filings and press releases, Fox refers to itself as “FOX” or the “Company.” The company has disclosed that it uses measures such as Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate performance, in addition to metrics reported under U.S. GAAP.
Fox has reported financial results that break out revenues and Adjusted EBITDA by segment, including Cable Network Programming, Television, and Corporate and Other. It has also discussed the impact of advertising, distribution, and content and other revenues on its performance. The company has described how advertising revenues are affected by digital growth led by Tubi, news pricing, and sports pricing and ratings, while distribution revenues are influenced by contractual price increases and fees from affiliates and distributors.
Fox has also described a stock repurchase program and has announced an accelerated share repurchase transaction under that program. In addition, trusts established for the benefit of certain members of the Murdoch family have conducted secondary offerings of Class B common stock, with Fox stating that the company itself is not selling shares in those offerings and does not receive proceeds from them.
Governance and shareholder matters
Fox Corporation holds an Annual Meeting of Stockholders and provides a definitive proxy statement (DEF 14A) describing matters submitted to a vote. The company has reported that holders of its Class B common stock are entitled to vote on matters presented at the Annual Meeting, while holders of Class A common stock are not entitled to vote on those matters.

The company also reported the outcome of shareholder proposals related to executive compensation and voting standards.
Business segments and revenue components
Fox’s public financial disclosures describe revenues by component—distribution, advertising, and content and other—and by segment. The Cable Network Programming segment has reported revenues from distribution, advertising, and content and other sources, with changes attributed to contractual price increases, subscriber trends, news pricing, and sports sublicensing revenues. The Television segment has reported advertising revenues influenced by digital growth led by the Tubi AVOD service and sports pricing and ratings, distribution revenues driven by rates at owned and operated stations and fees from third-party affiliates, and content and other revenues affected by entertainment content.
These segment disclosures show how Fox Corporation connects its brands and content to advertising and distribution revenue streams across cable networks, broadcast television, and digital platforms. They also highlight the role of sports, news, and entertainment content in driving both audience engagement and financial performance.
Use of non-GAAP measures
Fox Corporation explains in its financial communications that it uses non-GAAP measures such as Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS to evaluate performance exclusive of certain items that affect comparability between periods. The company notes that these measures are not substitutes for net income attributable to Fox Corporation stockholders or EPS as reported under GAAP, but are used by management and, in its view, provide information to investors and analysts for comparing performance across periods and with competitors.
Position within the television broadcasting and information sector
Within the television broadcasting and information sector, Fox Corporation presents itself as focused on news, sports, and entertainment content distributed through cable networks, broadcast television, and digital streaming services. Its brands, including FOX News Media, FOX Sports, Tubi Media Group, FOX Entertainment, and FOX Television Stations, are described by the company as culturally significant and commercially important. The combination of traditional broadcast assets, cable networks, and ad-supported streaming platforms positions Fox as a media company with multiple distribution channels and revenue sources tied to advertising, distribution agreements, and content-related revenues.
