21st Century Fox has been in talks to sell most of its company to Disney, according to a report by CNBC. The discussions are said to have centered around Fox shedding its film and TV divisions, networks like FX and National Geographic, and the companys stakes in international networks like Star TV and Sky.Fox is said to be primarily interested in selling its entertainment divisions in order to focus on what the companys management is said to view as its most profitable areas; selling the costly film and TV divisions to Disney would let Fox better focus on its successful news and sports programming. As such, Fox isnt said to be interested in selling the Fox broadcast network, Fox Sports, and the Fox News and Fox Business brands. (Incidentally, Disney also legally cant own the Fox network because it already owns ABC, and would probably run into antitrust issues with ESPN if it somehow could convince 21st Century Fox to sell Fox Sports.)
