From wiki but seems accurate from what I remember reading

quote:

Under the terms of the agreement, which was closed on June 27, 2018, Disney would acquire the Twentieth Century Fox film and TV studios, Fox Networks Group (along with cable networks such as FX Networks), stakes in National Geographic Partners, Indian satellite TV group Star India, Hulu, UK-based satellite TV group Sky plc, and other key assets. 21st Century Fox will spin-off Fox News, the Fox Business Network, FS1, FS2, Fox Deportes, the Big Ten Network, the Fox Broadcasting Company, Fox Television Stations, and MyNetworkTV into the "New Fox" company.
