Fox (company)Fox Corporation – It is the name of a corporation rather than a company. AdamDeanHall (talk) 23:37, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comments - Several sources are reporting today that the corporation has applied for the name "Fox Corp."/"Fox Corporation". I was going to give it a few days and see if that truly panned out, and which name was more common, and just move it at that time. I think it'll probably be Fox Corp., especially as an analogy wit News Corp., but we'll have to see. Hopefully by the time this discussion runs its course in a week, we'll have the answer and be able to make an informed decision rather than a guess. - BilCat (talk) 01:16, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
News Corp and News Corporation are different articles, though... I support per WP:NCCORP because it is the natural way to disambiguate. "Fox (company)" doesn't disambiguate very well - there are lots of companies called "Fox" - so as either "Corp." or "Corporation" it is still better than "(company)". It's already been moved from New Fox on 27 Dec 18. 62.165.227.157 (talk) 01:30, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That wasn't the point. - BilCat (talk) 02:27, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

info missing

[edit]

Who owns Fox Corporation? Is it private? publicly traded? Skepticalgiraffe (talk) 14:38, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, the article is incorrect. It says "It is owned by the Murdoch family via a family trust with 39% interest". A public company is different from a company owned by the Murdoch family. Could you correct it?Skepticalgiraffe (talk) 13:27, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reorganization

[edit]

Reorganized Fox Entertainment's assets as per all cited sources on both it and Fox Corp's article. Bento Box Entertainment, Fox Alternative, and XOF are all divisions of Fox Entertainment, with Bento Box continuing to operate independently. None of the cited sources for Tubi lists the service as a subsidy of either Fox Entertainment nor the Fox Broadcasting Company (the Fox network); I've edited the page accordingly.

I have a solution.

[edit]

So Disney bought 20th Century Fox, and renamed it "20th Century 'Studios'". But then I realized that they didn't buy Fox Corporation. So if Disney made its permanent acquisition with 20th Century Studios, 20th Television, Searchlight Productions, and 20th Television Animation, then shouldn't Fox Corporation being bought by Disney even though they made all 20th Television shows (which was distributed by Disney)?

@Cbelizaire: Can you please rephrase your question? It's not clear to me exactly what you're asking, or what problem you have a solution for. Thanks, Aoi (青い) (talk) 01:42, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Cbelizaire: Fox Corporation was spun off from 21st Century Fox before Disney bought 21st Century Fox. Fox Corporation was never part of Disney. Trivialist (talk) 02:34, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The use of "Fox" vs "FOX" for Fox Corporation brands

[edit]

One of the edits I made while editing "List of 9-1-1 episodes" was shortening the hotlink "Fox Broadcasting Company" to "FOX". After revisiting this page, I began to wonder if the title should be typed in as "Fox" or as "FOX"? After investigating and reviewing the different websites for the Fox Corporation brands, I discovered they all use "FOX" except for when talking about the name of the Fox Corporation itself throughout it's own website, https://www.foxcorporation.com/businesses/, https://www.foxcorporation.com/management/executive-team/, https://investor.foxcorporation.com/static-files/59e636f7-2b1f-455e-b140-5e39a80d8975.

By selecting the About Us hotlink within the Fox Corporation website, https://www.foxcorporation.com/about-us/, it takes you to a page that demonstrates the use of "FOX" when talking about its brands:

"Under the FOX banner, we produce and distribute content through some of the world’s leading and most valued brands, including: FOX News Media, FOX Sports, FOX Entertainment, FOX Television Stations and Tubi Media Group. We empower a diverse range of creators to imagine and develop culturally significant content, while building an organization that thrives on creative ideas, operational expertise and strategic thinking..."

To me this implies that "Fox" as used in Fox Corporation is the only iteration where this happens. All other Fox Corporation brands use "FOX". This would included FOX News Media, FOX Sports, FOX Entertainment, FOX Television Stations and even the FOX Broadcasting Company. It should also be noted that Fox Corporation refers to itself as "FOX" throughout its website. An example of this can also be found in second paragraph of the About Use page:

"...We have long been a leader in news, sports and entertainment programming, achieving strong revenue growth and profitability in a complex industry environment over the past several years. FOX will continue to invest across our businesses, allocate resources toward investments in higher growth initiatives and take advantage of strategic opportunities, including potential acquisitions across the range of the media categories in which we operate."

My question is whether or not the use of "Fox" should be changed to "FOX" in all instances where it is found site wide except for Fox Corporation? This would include but not limited to:

Fox Broadcasting Company, Fox News Media, Fox Sports, Fox Entertainment, and Fox Television Stations. knighstalker (talk) 12:28, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@KnighsTalker: Here's my two cents: I think it should be treated as a proper noun and capitalized, but not in ALLCAPS. FWIW, I found this article which goes into depth as to spell it out. It's from a website called PriestlyPointer.com. Basically, it says: "Fox: Don’t be tricked into writing this in all caps to replicate the Fox logo. “Fox” was the name of the founder, and any of the Fox TV and radio entities – such as Fox TV or Fox News Radio – should be written with only the “F” capitalized."
