This company has different types of divisions in it one being television. 20th Television is Fox's television syndication division. 20th Century Fox Television is the studio's television production division. During the mid-1950s features were released to television in the hope that they would broaden sponsorship and help distribution of network programs. Blocks of one-hour programming of feature films to national sponsors on 128 stations was organised by Twentieth Century Fox and National Telefilm Associates.

The Twentieth Century Fox Presents radio series were broadcast between 1936 and 1942. More often than not, the shows were a radio preview featuring a medley of the songs and soundtracks from the latest movie being released into the theatres, much like the modern day movie trailers we now see on TV, to encourage folks to head down to their nearest Picture House. The radio shows featured the original stars, with the announcer narrating a wonderful lead up, which really encapsulated the performance, such as in the film, Irene.

As part of the competition and mergers section of this assignment Time warner came into question on 21st Century Fox is that Twenty-First Century Fox, the media empire run by Rupert Murdoch, made an $80 billion takeover bid in recent weeks for Time Warner but was rebuffed, people briefed on the matter said on Wednesday. The bold approach could put Time Warner in play and might again ignite a reshaping of the media industry, prompting a new spate of mega-mergers among the nation's largest entertainment companies. Murdoch has built a global media juggernaut over nearly five decades spanning studios, television channels and newspapers, in part, by pursuing bold deals that were often rebuffed at first by the targets of his overtures, only to later acquiesce.
Together, Fox and Time Warner would become a colossus with an array of television networks and channels like Fox, Fox News, FX, TNT and TBS; the premium subscription channel HBO, movie studios like Twentieth Century Fox, Warner Brothers and other high-profile outlets. It would also combine Fox's growing sports business with the broadcast rights that Time Warner owns for professional and college basketball and Major League Baseball, among other sports. The combined company would have total revenue of $65 billion.
At the box office their profits were going down during the media conglomerate's most fiscal quarter. Revenues hit $7.38 billion, down 1% from the prior year, missing analysts expectations. Earnings per share topped off at 44 cents compared to 53 cents per share in the year-ago period, which was roughly in line with projections. Twenty-First Century Fox’s overall sales declined in 2015’s first fiscal quarter, mostly due the box office failure of “Fantastic Four.” Wall Street had expected Fox’s Q1 earnings per share to come in at $0.38 on $6.42 billion in revenue, per Yahoo Finance. Zacks was one penny more pessimistic per share. Fox reported actual revenue of $6.08 billion. The company made the $0.38 mark thanks to some adjustments. This could also relate to the financial concerns as they are losing money from the films as they aren't doing good at the box office.
