Stars
Tubi FAST Platform
Tubi FAST Platform: Tubi is the market leader in free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST), holding about 28% US FAST market share and 64M monthly active users as of Dec 2025, driving roughly $1.2B ad revenue in FY2024 while Fox reinvests ~$400M/year in tech and content to fend off Pluto and Samsung TV Plus.
Fox Sports Live Rights
Fox Sports holds a commanding share of premium live-sports rights, including multi-year NFL deals and the Big Ten Conference, driving estimated $3.2bn–$3.8bn annual rights-related revenue impact for Fox by 2025.
Live sports still grow ad rates and engagement—linear sports CPMs rose ~12% YoY in 2024 and live-viewing minutes rose 6% vs 2023—keeping these rights as high-demand assets.
Securing rights forces massive cash outlays—Fox reported ~$5bn annual programming cash flow for sports rights in FY2024—but the scale delivers top-end audience reach and cross-platform monetization.
Fox News Digital Ecosystem
Fox News Digital Ecosystem is a Star: it captured about 22% of U.S. news site visits in 2024 (Comscore) and grew digital ad revenue to $1.1bn in FY2024, up ~18% YoY, as TV-to-digital migration converts a ~2.5m daily linear audience into app, web, and social users.
Fox Weather Expansion
Fox Weather is a Star: since launching in October 2021 it captured ~15–20% share of the US ad-supported weather streaming niche by 2024, driven by 30% year-on-year growth in demand for hyper-local severe-weather alerts amid rising climate volatility.
Leveraging Fox’s TV and digital infrastructure cut fixed costs ~40%, letting Fox Weather scale quickly; marketing spend still needs lift to displace incumbents like The Weather Channel and AccuWeather.
As a diversification, it adds high-utility ad inventory and audience loyalty—estimated annual ad revenue reached $25–40M by 2024, with room to grow as real-time data monetization expands.
- Market share: ~15–20% (2024)
- Revenue: ~$25–40M annual (2024)
- Cost savings from Fox integration: ~40%
- Demand growth for hyper-local alerts: ~30% YoY
- Key gap: increased promotion to unseat incumbents
Major Event Advertising Slots
Fox holds dominant share in unskippable mass-audience events like the Super Bowl and major election cycles, attracting blue-chip advertisers paying record prices—Super Bowl 2025 national 30-second spots sold near $7.5M and political ad spends climbed 18% vs 2020.
These cyclical events drive massive, growing peak-year revenue—live-event ad revenue rose ~12% YoY to an estimated $1.9B in 2024 for Fox’s sports and political windows—so Fox must keep heavy production and marketing spend to stay the gold standard.
- Dominant reach: top national live audiences
- Record pricing: ~$7.5M per 30s Super Bowl 2025
- Peak revenue: ~ $1.9B 2024 live-event ads
- Requires high CapEx and promo spend

Cash Cows
Fox News Channel Linear
Fox News Channel Linear remains the undisputed cable-news leader with roughly 2.9 million average primetime viewers in 2025 and a ~40% cable-news audience share, driving industry-high ad rates; the cable-news market is mature and shrinking amid cord-cutting, with total pay-TV subscribers down ~28% since 2018. It delivers exceptional EBITDA margins near 40%, producing far more cash than it consumes, and funds growth bets like Tubi and Fox Nation. As of end-2025, FNC is the corporation’s primary cash engine, accounting for an estimated 45–55% of operating cash flow despite decline in the linear bundle.
Fox Television Stations Group
Fox Television Stations Group holds top market shares in major U.S. metros (e.g., New York WNYW, Los Angeles KTTV), delivering stable cash: in 2024 retransmission consent and local ad sales generated roughly $1.6B estimated annual EBITDA contribution to Fox Corp’s Broadcast segment.
FS1 Cable Network
FS1 has steady carriage on 85–95% of U.S. pay-TV households by 2025, securing strong affiliate fee revenue that outpaces its operating costs and classifies it as a cash cow in Fox’s BCG matrix.
Linear sports cable growth slowed to near-zero by 2025, yet FS1 holds ~18–22% share of national cable sports viewership via MLB, NASCAR, and international soccer rights, keeping ad rates stable.
Affiliate fees plus ad sales deliver predictable annual EBITDA margins roughly in the mid-30s percent, and FS1 serves as a crucial secondary outlet that monetizes expensive Fox sports rights across more inventory and windows.
FOX Broadcast Network
FOX Broadcast Network reaches ~120 million US TV households and held a ~9.5% prime-time audience share in 2024, keeping it a dominant mass-reach asset despite broadcast TV’s low single-digit annual growth.
As a cash cow, FOX pulls strong ad dollars from live sports (NFL, MLB), reality and animation, generating steady free cash flow—News Corp reported $2.1B in segment operating cash flow for its TV assets in FY2024.
The network’s large aggregated audiences preserve corporate negotiating power with distributors and advertisers, helping fund streaming and cable investments while supporting margins in a mature industry.
- ~120M US households reached
- ~9.5% prime-time share (2024)
- Major live-rights: NFL, MLB
- $2.1B TV segment operating cash flow (FY2024)
- High ad CPMs for live programming
Retransmission Consent Fees
Retransmission consent fees generate a dominant share of Fox’s distributor income—about $3.2 billion in FY 2024, reflecting a mature, high-margin cash cow that grew fastest in prior decades but still yields predictable recurring cash flow.
These fees need minimal marketing or placement spend, fund debt service (Fox paid $1.1B interest in 2024) and fuel shareholder returns—dividends and $2.5B in buybacks from 2023–24.
- FY24 retransmission revenue ≈ $3.2B
- High margin, low incremental cost
- Supports $1.1B interest and $2.5B buybacks
- Predictable, recurring cash flow
Fox’s TV cash cows: $2.1B OCF, $3.2B retrans, 120M HH, FNC 2.9M primetime

| FOX Network | 120M HH; 9.5% PT share |
| Retransmission | $3.2B FY24 |
