Fox Networks Group (FNG) is a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company that oversees the international television assets that were acquired from former 21st Century Fox in March 2019. It produces and distributes more than 300 entertainment, film, sports, and factual channels in 45 languages across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, using several brands, including Fox, Fox Sports, and BabyTV.
Who owns Fox Network Group?
Fox Networks Group was formed in 1993 to serve as the unit for the international multi-media business owned at the time by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation after the purchase of STAR TV with the purpose to serve its international channels. In 2008, Fox Broadcasting and 20th Century Fox Television formed Fox Inkubation, a joint initiative for new animation talent that would allow them to produce two-minute shorts as pilots for new series.
In January 2016, 21st Century Fox announced a major reorganization of its non-U.S. television businesses. Fox International Channels (FIC), which have been operating separately from 21CF’s U.S. domestic television businesses, would be abolished, and the head of its regional divisions would report to Fox Networks Group CEO Peter Rice and COO Randy Freer, thus absorbing international television businesses into Fox Networks Group.
