The individual responsible for Fox News Channel and Fox broadcast network reported a net profit of $373 million, which equates to approximately 81 cents per share, contrasting with $109 million, or 23 cents per share, in the same period last year. Moreover, revenue surged to $5.08 billion, representing a 20% increase from $4.23 billion in the previous year.
