In 20 13, Rupert Murdoch succumbed to the pressure of investors and separated his publishing business with a history of nearly 60 years from News Corporation's media empire. The old News Corporation was split into the new News Corporation and 2 1 Century Fox. Because the new News Corporation has lost the strong support of the entertainment department of News Corporation, it has to prove its growth ability in the declining publishing industry. On June 28th, News Corporation was formally split.

On July 1 day, 2003, Class A and Class B shares of 2 1 Century FOX Company were officially listed on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange with the stock codes of "FOXA" and "FOX". In the previous week, the two stocks had started trading on the basis of hypothetical issuance.

This figure is slightly higher than the income of $7.2 billion in the same period last year. Although Fox temporarily withdrew from the acquisition of Warner, Murdoch told the media that he did not give up the acquisition road.
