Fox Corporation is a news, sports, and entertainment company that operates through two reportable segments: Cable Network Programming and Television. The company's core business model involves producing and licensing content for distribution through traditional cable systems, broadcast networks, and digital platforms. Fox holds leading market positions in live news and sports programming, with a significant presence in major U.S. markets.
Total revenues decreased by $933 million, driven by a $1.2 billion decrease in advertising revenue. The decline in advertising was attributed to the absence of major sporting events like Super Bowl LVII and the FIFA Men's World Cup, as well as lower political advertising at FOX Television Stations.
Affiliate fee revenue increased by $273 million, primarily due to higher average rates per subscriber and higher fees received from television stations affiliated with the FOX Network. This partially offset the overall revenue decline.
Net income increased by $301 million, primarily due to the absence of legal settlement costs and lower indemnity costs. This was partially offset by lower gains and lower Segment EBITDA.
