    The actual Fox Broadcasting Network is still staying under Fox ownership. The FCC regulates that one company can't own more than one broadcast network.

    the deal hasn't gone through yet. it will either be finalized in the end of the year or sometime in 2019 originally the deal was supposed to be finalized end of summer 2019 that still may be the case? Fox Executives and shareholders want to get this deal done because not only are they getting a lot of money but they are getting a ton of Stock in Disney the Stock In Disney is supposedly what the clincher in the deal was Fox Executives mostly wanted the Disney Stock that's what George Lucas got as well when he sold Lucasfilm to Disney Lucas got a ton of Stock in the Disney company!

    Regardless of when the deal goes through, the actual Fox channel is staying under Fox ownership. There's regulations that prohibit Disney from owning it. That won't change. The two options are it either stays with Fox or gets sold to someone other than Disney, Comcast or CBS. It's staying with Fox though.

    that's false if you read what has already been stated.
    again I will post the Deadline Article read carefully what Is In parenthesis it explains everything in detail.

    "I hear 21st Century Fox president Peter Rice is being eyed to lead the TV content business of the combined company. Despite Rice’s extensive experience both in TV and film, I hear he is expected to stay in television where he currently serves as CEO of Fox Networks Group. Such a prominent position would put Rice in the conversation for a potential successor to Iger.

    Also rumored to move to Disney in major TV roles after the transaction are Fox TV Group chairman Dana Walden as well as FX Networks CEO John Landgraf whose division is part of the assets that are being acquired. While speculation about Rice and Landgraf joining Disney has been pretty consistent over the past six months, for Walden, there also has been a scenario floated about her possibly joining Hulu, which would be majority owned by Disney after the Fox acquisition, with Comcast holding a minority stake. In her current role at Fox, Walden is a Hulu board member."
    They are saying that there will be different TV divisions bought and run by Disney. Also rumored to move to Disney in major TV roles after the transaction are Fox TV Group chairman
    Dana Walden
    as well as FX Networks CEO John Landgraf whose division is part of the assets that are being acquired."

    To me this is saying the TV division is being bought by Disney and will be run by Peter Rice Dana Walden and FX Networks CEO John Landgraf Disney Is keeping them on the TV Department and FX and FXX..

    this is also saying Hulu Is getting bought by Disney!

    again if Disney wasn't buying the TV end of it why did Matt Groening commission this picture with his watermark?

    This was on Fox Twitter and Bob Iger liked the Tweet,
    Just for the record this belongs in this Thread Movies are involved in the Sale plus The Simpsons movie and Its Sequel and Bobs Burger has a movie coming out in 2020 and we may someday get a Futurama movie and Family Guy movie. Isn't this a movie thread? then It fits!

    No offense but the only article I trust out of the bunch is Deadline And the article I posted from Deadline clearly spells out what I am saying. I mean come on VOX what the hell is VOX?

    this is the deadline article I speak of,
    reading the latest Deadline article dated today,

    I new about Fox News not being included because of the monopoly the DOJ would never approve the deal if Fox News was included that's why the Time Warner deal fell through.

    Read the second to last paragraph of the Deadline article that you trust, "post-acquisition Fox Broadcasting Co.", that is the Fox network. The broadcast network is still being owned by Fox.

    I'm sorry you don't trust other websites but that doesn't change the fact that Fox is still keeping the broadcast channel.

    Disney's getting the 20th Century Fox TV properties, such as The Simpsons, but the actual Fox broadcast network (a distinct subsidiary which in a technical sense is not connected to said properties despite broadcasting them) is staying with Murdoch. I think your confusion is stemming from thinking they're the same, which is a sensible assumption, but they aren't owing to some complicated but worked around rules regarding how broadcast television has to work.

    Regardless The TV shows on Fox will be properties of Disney Personally I believe a lot of what we are reading is pure speculation we wont know for sure till The deal goes through and we get an official Press release.

    wasn't Deadline adamant as was the Hollywood Reporter that Star Wars RO was definitely going to be delayed how did that work out.

    so If Disney will own the rights to the Fox Shows but not the Network can new or repeats of say The Simpsons be put on ABC or Disney XD? I will also point out a paragraph does not make up the whole Article there are other parts of that article that contradict the second to last paragraph that's why you have to read the whole thing witch I have read the whole thing;)


    thanks guys for explaining it all to me personally I don't care about the network just the shows my favorite being Futurama The Simpsons Bobs Burgers The Family Guy The Orville The X Files and 24 those are all my favorites knowing Disney will own there rights is awesome! I also love King Of The Hill that is rumored to be coming back may be a comeback of Futurama on ABC or Disney XD?

    That's sad to hear, he was one of the better personalities on Collider. Especially his passion and knowledge of comics books and films.
