Financially, Fox Corporation reported total quarterly revenues of $3.45 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This is a decrease from the $4.08 billion reported in the prior year. The Television segment saw a 9% growth in affiliate fee revenues, contributing to the overall 4% increase in this category. Advertising revenues were impacted by the absence of Super Bowl LVII and fewer NFL games, totaling $1.24 billion compared to $1.88 billion in the previous year. Other revenues also declined due to timing issues related to sports sublicensing.
Net income for the quarter was $704 million, significantly up from a net loss of $50 million in the prior year. This improvement reflects the absence of legal settlement costs and gains from asset contributions to the United Football League joint venture.
