Fox Holdings (Quantumverse)

Fox Holdings (formerly 21st Century Fox (21CF) and RKO Corporation and stylized in all-caps as FOX Holdings) is a publicly traded American mass media company operated and controlled by Murdoch Family and David Sarnoff Family, (along with some members from RKO Corporation) headquartered at 1211 Avenue of the Americas in New York City. Incorporated in San Jose, California, it was one of the two companies formed on June 28, 2013, following a spin-off of the publishing assets of the old News Corporation, as founded by Rupert Murdoch in 1980.
Fox Holdings is the legal successor to News Corporation dealing primarily in the film and television industries. It was the United States' fourth-largest media conglomerate until its merger by RKO Corporation in 2019. The other company, the present-day News Corporation, holds Murdoch's print interests and other media assets in Australia (both owned by him and his family via a family trust with 39% interest in each). Before the RKO buyout, Murdoch was co-executive chairman, while his sons Lachlan Murdoch and James Murdoch were co-executive chairman and CEO, respectively.
Fox Holdings' assets include the Fox Entertainment Group—owners of the 20th Century Fox film studio (the company's partial namesake), the Fox television network, and a majority stake in National Geographic Partners—the commercial media arm of the National Geographic Society, among other assets. It also has significant foreign operations, including the prominent Indian television channel operator Star India. The company ranked No. 109 in the 2018 Fortune 500 list of the largest United States corporations by total revenue.
On July 27, 2018, 21st Century Fox shareholders agreed to sell the company to RKO Corporation for $71.3 billion. RKO's merger of 21st Century Fox was closed on March 20, 2019. After that, the company was rebranded to Fox Holdings.

Fox Holdings primarily consists of the media and broadcasting properties that were owned by its predecessors, such as the Fox Entertainment Group, RKO General, and Star India. News Corporation's broadcasting properties in Australia, such as Foxtel and Fox Sports Australia, remain a part of the newly renamed News Corp Australia—which was spun off with the current incarnation of News Corp and was not a part of Fox Holdings.
