News Corporation Announces 21st Century Fox as New Name for Independent Media and Entertainment Company
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--News Corporation (NASDAQ: NWS, NWSA; ASX: NWS, NWSLV) today announced that 21st Century Fox will be the new name of the independent media and entertainment company created by the proposed separation of its businesses. The name, which will be effective with the separation, draws on the Company’s creative heritage, while also speaking to the future as well as the innovation that defines its portfolio of businesses. 21st Century Fox replaces the previously announced name Fox Group.
Reaching more than a billion people in 100 local languages every day, the proposed 21st Century Fox will be home to a global portfolio of cable and broadcasting networks and properties, including FOX, FX, FXX, FS1, Fox News Channel, Fox Business Network, Fox Sports, Fox Sports Network, National Geographic Channels, Fox Pan American Sports, MundoFox and STAR; film studio Twentieth Century Fox Film; and television production studios Twentieth Century Fox Television and Shine Group. The proposed Company will also provide premium content to millions of subscribers through its pay-television services in Europe and Asia, including Sky Deutschland, Sky Italia and its equity interests in BSkyB and Tata Sky.
Rupert Murdoch, who will serve as Chairman and CEO of the proposed 21st Century Fox, commented on the Company’s new name:
“Over the years, we have built a global portfolio of companies that has consistently defied conventional wisdom, and succeeded where others have failed because we are driven by a steadfast belief in great ideas, the power of imagination and the desire to thrill and engage audiences with enduring stories and experiences. 21st Century Fox is a name that draws upon the rich creative heritage of our film studio, while also speaking to the innovation and dynamism that define all of our global media and entertainment businesses and will guide us into the future.”
Chase Carey, the future company’s President and Chief Operating Officer, commented, “Together, as 21st Century Fox, we will have the global footprint and creative bench that give us a competitive edge across more than 50 countries. We believe that the 21st Century Fox name captures the power of our legacy as well as the vast opportunities for our consumers, businesses and investors as we look forward.”
News Corporation Separation
On June 28, 2012, News Corporation announced its intent to pursue the separation of its business into two separate independent companies, one of which will hold the Company’s global media and entertainment businesses and the other which will hold the businesses comprising News Corporation’s newspapers, information services and integrated marketing services, digital real estate services, book publishing, digital education and sports programming and pay-TV distribution in Australia. In addition to final approval from the Board of Directors and stockholder approval of certain amendments to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the completion of the separation will be subject to receipt of regulatory approvals, opinions from tax counsel and favorable rulings from certain tax jurisdictions regarding the tax-free nature of the transaction to the Company and to its stockholders, further due diligence as appropriate, the execution of certain agreements relating to the distribution, and the filing and effectiveness of appropriate filings with the SEC. There can be no assurances given that the separation of the Company's businesses as described will occur.

FOX Launches Spanish-Language Network, "MundoFox"
August 13, 2012 12:01 AM Eastern Daylight Time MundoFox Goes Live: New Network Launches for Latino Audiences Across the U.S.
Fox International Channels and RCN Television Group premiere Spanish-language TV network that brings innovative drama, comedy, news and game shows to millions of Hispanic viewers
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MundoFox, the new Spanish-language broadcast network from Fox International Channels and RCN Television Group of Colombia launches today with an impressive line-up of scripted dramas, news, sports, game shows and comedy. The launch positions MundoFox as the newest player in the underserved Hispanic media marketplace.
MundoFox is proud to have a diverse roster of quality programming that echoes the interests of the ‘New Latino’ viewer. Network viewers can tune in to see such well-known stars as Marlon Moreno, Maria Adelaida Puerta and Andres Suarez in the Spanish hit “El Capo.” The acclaimed Mexican actors Veronica Castro, Jaime Camil and Ludwika Paleta star in “Los Exitosos Perez.” Carlos Espejel, Mexican telenovela actor and comedian, and Roselyn Sanchez, Puerto Rican singer-songwriter/actress in the upcoming comedy series “EXPOSOS” and Christopher Von Uckermann, star of the critically-acclaimed series “Kdabra.” The brilliant and funny Marco Antonio Regil will host the new game show “Minuto Para Ganar“ and every weeknight, the Peabody Award-winning journalist Rolando Nichols will anchor “Noticias MundoFox” at 6 p.m., the only newscast in Spanish to be produced live for both the East and the West Coast.
The MundoFox lineup includes:
•El Capo 2 – the second season of one of the most successful Spanish-Language teleseries ever created, based on the story of the fictional drug lord Pedro Pablo Jaramillo, will air every weeknight at 9 (8 Central).
•Los Exitosos Perez – a story where identity theft is the groundbreaking plot and where the sentimental bonds of Martin Perez are managed with a tone of comedy.
•Kdabra – mystery, magic, and intrigue that gathers elements from the real and the supernatural worlds; where the enthralling mystery surrounding its main character, a 17-year-old teenager who has escaped from a dark community- triggers a series of unexpected events.
•Tiempo Final – each week, the characters face a dead end or an inevitable fate that will change their lives forever — from lovers who are exhausted by their anonymity and decide to disclose their relationship to a serial murderer who is hiding under the harmless image of a plumber or a bachelor party that quickly becomes one that will not be forgotten.
•Minuto para Ganar – an entertainment program adapted from the wildly successful U.S. show "Minute to Win It" whereby contestants play ten challenges, each lasting one minute..
•Betty La Fea – one of the most popular Spanish-Language shows ever created, for the first time in the US in half-hour versions.
•American Dad - one of the most successful animated comedies, from Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane, will air in late night.
•Las Santísimas – the Latino version of “Sex and the City”, following the lives of five women from different backgrounds who, in their pursuit for happiness, encounter both internal and external obstacles.
•Pobres Rico – the story of a wealthy family cut off from their riches by betrayal from within. Fate and necessity force them into an uneasy alliance with a rival family, but love blossoms in unexpected places teaching both families lessons about trust, unity and solidarity.
•El Joe, La Leyenda – a seventies period drama based on the exclusive story of music legend Joe Arroyo, a young, fun-loving but happily engaged musician, who indulges in a weekend fling with an alluring young woman, who unbeknownst to him, is the daughter of a music mogul. However, an unexpected series of twists and turns will conspire to bring the lovers together again years later and reignite their forbidden affair.
•Nat Geo Kids – the U.S.’ most popular kids magazine turned TV by MundoFox including great fact-filled, fast paced kids programming originally produced by National Geographic.
•UFC-LIVE – action from the premier mixed martial arts organization with the most top-ranked fighters in the world. Live events will air throughout the year on MundoFox.
MundoFox has already built a base of 50 affiliate stations in markets representing 80% of U.S. Hispanic households, and the network is confident its groundbreaking and innovative program mix will appeal to a significant portion of the 52 million (and growing) Latinos who live in the U.S. MundoFox will be available on broadcast over-the-air television, as well as through cable, satellite and telco providers (for local channel number information, please visit mundofox.com or call your cable, satellite or telco provider).
Knowing that the entertainment wants and needs of American Latinos have changed and continue to evolve, MundoFox is targeting this new mindset with “Latino entertainment, American attitude”. MundoFox is set to capture the imagination of this bi-cultural audience that lives in both the English and Spanish speaking worlds with a mix of well-produced, culturally relevant and sophisticated programming.
“We’ve reached a tipping point in the evolution of U.S. Spanish-language programming and the time is right for MundoFox,” said Emiliano Saccone, President of MundoFox. “Like we did in 1986 when we launched Fox Broadcasting, we’ve read the landscape and believe the time is now. We know that while there is incredible competition in this arena, our strong line-up of inspired and creative programs, robust foundation of affiliates, internationally recognized advertisers and clear sense of direction are a formula for long-term success.”
Demographic experts expect the burgeoning population of U.S. Latinos to reach 133 million by 2050, meaning that nearly one in three Americans will be Hispanic. Fifty percent of U.S. population growth over the past decade has come from this group with an annual spending power of $1 trillion. This number is forecast to climb to $1.5 trillion by 2015, according to Nielsen Media Research. Advertisers understand the power of these numbers. Toyota Motor Sales USA, L’Oreal and T-Mobile USA are among over fifty advertisers already committed to MundoFox.
About MundoFox
MundoFox is a joint venture between Fox International Channels (FIC), News Corporation’s international multi-media business, and RCN, the leading Latin American television network and production company belonging to Organización Ardila Lülle (OAL). Together, FIC and RCN currently reach over 1.2 billion households worldwide with primetime comedies, dramas and daytime series, as well as factual, sports and lifestyle programming. Additionally, both operate and program cable networks and twenty-four-hour global news channels. The new network, headquartered in Los Angeles, CA, will launch in August of 2012.

Will Smith Developing TV Drama for Fox
Thanks to IMDb.com, I discovered a new website, Shadow and Act, which its participants describe as "A collective of writers, filmmakers, film critics and film enthusiasts, interested in discussing primarily film and filmmakers of the African Diaspora."
They made note of the following tidbit: Will Smith and a Chinese director named Eva Jin are developing an hour-long, television crime drama for Fox. It will be set in China and focused on a crime-fighting American female college student studying abroad in China.
I'll let you know when I learn more.

FOX Picks Jamie Foxx
BET.com's "Stay Tuned..." blog is reporting that FOX has picked up "The Jamie Foxx Project" as a mid-season replacement series. FOX has also ordered 12 episodes of the proposed sketch comedy series, described as being in the vein of "In Living Colour," which also featured Jamie Foxx.
The blog quotes Deadline: Hollywood and details that the show will feature sketch comedian Affion Crockett, an alumnus of "The Boondocks." One of the series writers, Carl Jones, is also an alumnus of "The Boondocks."
