fluctuations of the U. S.  dollar against local currencies resulted in a revenue decrease of $99 million, or 7%, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 as compared to fiscal 2018.
Advertising revenues decreased $65 million, primarily due to the $56 million negative impact of foreign currency fluctuations and the $52 million impact of weakness in the print advertising market, partially offset by the $26 million increase due to digital advertising growth and a $20 million increase from the acquisition of an integrated content marketing agency.
Circulation and subscription revenues decreased $21 million primarily due to the $32 million negative impact of foreign currency fluctuations and print volume declines, partially offset by the impact of the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard, cover price increases and digital subscriber growth.
News UK Revenues were $1,032 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $44 million, or 4%, as compared to fiscal 2018 revenues of $1,076 million.
The decrease was due in part to lower Advertising revenues of $28 million, primarily due to weakness in the print advertising market and the $12 million negative impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Circulation and subscription revenues decreased $27 million, primarily due to single-copy volume declines, mainly at The Sun, and the $22 million negative impact of foreign currency fluctuations, partially offset by the impact of cover price increases across mastheads.
The decrease was partially offset by higher Other revenues of $11 million, mainly due to the $38 million net benefit related to the exit from the partnership for Sun Bets in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, partially offset by lower brand partnership revenues.
The impact of foreign currency fluctuations of the U. S.  dollar against local currencies resulted in a revenue decrease of $40 million, or 4%, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 as compared to fiscal 2018.
News America Marketing Revenues at News America Marketing were $895 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $61 million, or 6%, as compared to fiscal 2018 revenues of $956 million.
The decrease was primarily related to $67 million of lower home delivered revenues, which include free-standing insert products, mainly due to lower volume.
Subscription Video Services (22% and 11% of the Company’s consolidated revenues in fiscal 2019 and 2018, respectively)
## Table 2 ##
** not meaningful For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, revenues at the Subscription Video Services segment increased $1,198 million and Segment EBITDA increased $207 million, as compared to fiscal 2018.
The revenue and Segment EBITDA increases were primarily due to the Transaction, which contributed $1,289 million of revenue and $236 million of Segment EBITDA during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.
The impact of foreign currency fluctuations of the U. S.  dollar against local currencies resulted in a revenue decrease of $74 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 as compared to fiscal 2018.
