I'm not sure if this is true or not. Maybe somebody can do a little more digging but it was a little ambiguous in everything I read. They did by a lot of FOX assets but I can't tell whether FOX News is a part of it or not. I didn't want to delete my post in case it were true. :)
Disney's $71 billion deal to buy most of 21st Century Fox will take effect on Wednesday, March 20, the companies said Tuesday morning.
It will be an epochal event in the entertainment business — the merging of two movie studios and the end of Fox as we all knew it.
Disney (DIS) is picking up the studio, a controlling stake in Hulu, a suite of entertainment channels like FX and Nat Geo, and other assets.
The remaining parts of 21st Century Fox (FOX) will be spun off into a new company simply known as Fox. It will include the Fox broadcast network, Fox News and Fox Sports.
