Fox profit falls as Super Bowl revenue drops out of Q3
Fox Corp. reported a decline in third-quarter profit, attributing the dip to the absence of a Super Bowl telecast compared to the prior year. The Super Bowl telecast in the previous period generated millions in additional revenue.
Key Takeaways
- Third-quarter profit fell year over year at Fox Corp.
- The prior-year quarter included a Super Bowl telecast.
- Fox said the Super Bowl brought in millions in extra revenue last year.
