Fox Sports
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fox Sports is the brand name for a number of sports channels, broadcast divisions, programming, and other media around the world that are either owned or partially owned by News Corporation.[1] The name originates from News Corporation's Fox Entertainment Group based in the United States, which in turn was derived from the name of the Fox Film Corporation. The Fox Sports name has since been used in News Corporation's other sports media assets around the world.
