In addition, Murdoch’s various newspapers — including the Wall Street Journal, New York Post, Times of London and a handful of Australian properties — will be contained in a second company, News Corp. This is an effort to avoid a monopoly with Disney owning ABC, and therefor unable to own Fox, as well.
As is clarified by the L.A. Times, the Mouse House is not able to acquire Fox News, the Fox broadcast network, its television stations or Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports 2.
These holdings will be branched out by Rupert Murdoch into a separate company that will operate independently of the Disney deal.
There are assets that Disney does not get in this landmark deal.
