I would assume No, It's interesting since Disney bought 20th Centuy FOX. But did it also buy FOX News and FOX Sports as well?


"Now that Fox Corp. has sold off most of its entertainment properties, it has become a standalone company that will retain ownership of its broadcast network, owned-and-operated network affiliates, the Fox News Channel, Fox Business Network and Fox Sports." [0]

No. Fox News, Sports, and Television are what's left of Fox Corporation. The sports situation is especially complicated, with international rights coming into play.


Also because Disney owns ESPN they can't own Fox Sports for anti competitive reason. They also let go Regional Sports Networks
