They’re purchasing all 18 of the Fox Regional Sports Networks, which will be folded into ESPN, so you’ll like see an ESPN Kansas City that carries Royals, Sporting KC amd other sports programming related to the region.
They’re also getting FX, FXX and National Geogrpahic and all of its channels.
The only divisions staying at Fox are Fox News, Fox Sports and the Fox Over-The-Air network.
So basically, Disney is purchasing 20th Century Fox movie and television studio and cable networks, plus international TV holdings and Fox’s interest in Hulu.
Murdoch retains control of Fox News Channel and the Fox broadcast network, which will be spun off into a separate company.
