"Rupert Murdoch’s 21st Century Fox spun off various television assets — including the Fox News Channel and Fox broadcast network — to form a new company Tuesday known simply as Fox Corp." …
"
The spinoff completed early Tuesday is part of a multipronged process that will culminate with the $71.3-billion sale of the rest of Murdoch’s entertainment company to Walt Disney Co. The company announced that it had finished the process of issuing shares in the new Fox Corp. to investors of 21st Century Fox."
"The new Fox is now a standalone, publicly traded company. Its shares are listed on the Nasdaq market; Tuesday marked their first day of trading. The Class A shares fell 3.3% to close at $40.34."
"The new incarnation of Fox — with headquarters in New York and Los Angeles — is a slimmer version of the old Fox.
"Its assets include Fox News Channel; Fox Business Network; two national Fox Sports channels, FS1 and FS2; the Fox Broadcasting network; and Fox’s group of television stations, including KTTV Channel 11 and KCOP Channel 13 in Los Angeles"
So now it is definitive that Fox News is not owned/controlled by Disney. The Disney acquisition of certain Fox properties did not include Fox News.
Fox News and some other media assets were spun off into a separate company called "Fox Corp."
