Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor Fox Corporation saw profit in its fiscal second quarter surge due to its reliance on news and sports programming, with ads tied to the 2024 presidential election and big-audience MLB and NFL telecasts giving a boost to operations at the company.
The owner of Fox News Channel and the Fox broadcast network said net income attributable to the company came to $373 million, or 81 cents per share, compared with $109 million, or 23 cents per share in the year-ago period.
