What FOX Entertainment does

FOX Entertainment is one of five core business units of Fox Corporation (NASDAQ: FOX, FOXA), the publicly traded media company established in 2019 following Disney's acquisition of most 21st Century Fox assets. Headquartered at the Fox Studio Lot in Los Angeles, the division operates three primary arms: the FOX Television Network (29 full-power broadcast stations reaching 14 of the top 15 U.S. DMAs including duopolies in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago), FOX Entertainment Studios (scripted and unscripted production through wholly owned or JV labels such as Bento Box Entertainment, Studio Ramsay Global with Gordon Ramsay, TMZ, Tideline, and the recently acquired Meet Cute), and FOX Entertainment Global (worldwide content sales and distribution).

The business makes money primarily through national advertising sales across premium live sports (NFL, MLB, FIFA World Cup, Big Ten) and entertainment programming, multi-platform content licensing (anchored by a $1.5B+ deal with Hulu extending through 2029 and supplemented by Fox One, Tubi, and Amazon Fire TV FAST channels), and emerging creator-economy and microdrama revenues from Fox Creator Studios and the Holywater/My Drama partnership, which targets mobile-first Gen Z audiences with 200+ committed vertical series.

FOX Entertainment serves national advertisers seeking mass-reach audiences, streaming partners requiring premium content, digital content creators seeking capital and distribution, and international TV buyers at events such as London TV Screenings and LA Screenings. CEO Rob Wade leads the unit alongside Billy Parks (head of Fox Creator Studios) and Carlos Martinez (EVP FOX Latin America), with Lachlan K. Murdoch serving as Fox Corporation's Executive Chair and CEO. Strategic positioning in 2025-2026 has emphasized digital expansion through vertical video (Holywater), audio (Meet Cute), creator partnerships, and the pending $22B acquisition of Roku to own distribution directly.
