In Fox's case Rupert Murdoch said with streaming and watch it when you want upon us, this new way of watching entertainment allied with not just Netflix but firms like Facebook ,Apple, Amazon all with their own ecosystems entering the market has driven up the cost of making and delivering content .
With the above happening the best way forward for old media without a ecosystem going into that space and how to best monetise it still unclear, with this in mind they handed over the parts of Fox most susceptible to this new age for Disney to solve , whilst keeping what Murdoch called real time media, being news and sport segments that can be integrated into news corp, with the rest of their 21st century fox assets making Disney a stronger player in the entertainment as a service future something that will still benefit them since they will have a 25% stake in Disney and with Murdoch the largest individual shareholder.
