Fox Corporation uses Databricks to build AI apps for sports and streaming.

Together, Databricks products enable Fox to build and deploy agentic apps that deepen viewer and fan engagement by delivering more relevant content and sharing real-time insights on live programming through a natural conversational interface. With Databricks, FOX unifies data and AI on a platform that provides the necessary context for smarter content decisions and powers the next generation of fan experiences. Fox is transforming its end-to-end operations on Databricks, leveraging Lakebase, its serverless Postgres database built for AI agents, Genie Code, its AI agent for data engineering, ML, and AI workflows, Unity Gateway, which provides multi-AI governance and cost controls, and Genie Ontology, a context layer of organizational knowledge including data, docs, tags, content, apps, documents, and people. "Databricks is core to FOX's AI initiatives," said Melody Hildebrandt, Chief Technology Officer, Fox Corporation. "The Databricks Data + AI Platform gives us a trusted foundation to build and scale AI across our business, with capabilities like Genie and Lakebase powering everything from natural-language analytics that improve employee productivity to AI agents that enhance fan experiences."

Fox Corporation promotes Nicholas Trutanich to General Counsel.

Fox Corporation promotes Nicholas Trutanich to General Counsel. [email protected] October 19, 2026 Fox Corporation will appoint Nicholas Trutanich as its new General Counsel on December 1, succeeding Adam Ciongoli, who is stepping down as Chief Legal and Policy Officer after three years with the company. Ciongoli has decided not to renew his contract but will remain with Fox as a Special Advisor through June 2028, the company announced Monday. Trutanich, currently the Executive Vice President and Principal Deputy General Counsel, will report directly to Fox Corporation CEO Lachlan Murdoch. "I'd like to thank Adam for his many immense contributions over the last three years," Murdoch said in a statement. "I deeply appreciate his service to Fox and am grateful that he will continue to serve Fox as a special advisor." Murdoch also praised Trutanich, saying his experience in litigation, regulatory compliance and corporate legal matters would be valuable in his expanded position. Trutanich joined Fox Corporation in 2021 as its Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer. He subsequently became Executive Vice President and Principal Deputy General Counsel, overseeing the company's litigation and ethics and compliance operations. Before joining Fox, Trutanich served as the U.S. Attorney for the District of Nevada from 2019 to 2021. He previously held senior positions in the Nevada Attorney General's Office and worked as a federal prosecutor with the U.S. Department of Justice. Earlier in his career, Trutanich worked as a private practice litigator and federal law clerk. "I will be honored to serve as General Counsel and grateful for the opportunity to lead such a talented legal team," Trutanich said on Monday. "It is an exciting time of growth and innovation at Fox, and I look forward to working with colleagues across the Company to advance our goals." Ciongoli said he welcomed the opportunity to continue working with Fox in an advisory capacity. "It has been a privilege and an honor to be a part of the Fox family, and I have especially valued my relationships with Lachlan and our talented colleagues," Ciongoli said. The leadership changes will also affect Fox Corporation's government relations operations. Kristopher Jones, Executive Vice President and Head of Government Relations, will begin reporting directly to John Nallen, the company's President and Chief Operating Officer, effective December 1. Fox did not announce an immediate replacement for Ciongoli's broader Chief Legal and Policy Officer position beyond Trutanich's appointment as General Counsel.

BofA upgrades Fox to Buy on $22B Roku deal, sees over 30% upside

Bank of America has upgraded Fox Corp. to Buy from Underperform, saying Fox's agreed purchase of Roku "fundamentally changes the strategic and financial narrative" for the company. Fox agreed in June to pay $160 a share for Roku, valuing it at about $22 billion. Analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlich raised her price target to $85 from $54, implying more than 30% upside. She said Roku answers Fox's streaming question, and that fears of an early, costlier NFL rights deal have eased. The bank estimates $530 million in extra revenue in its base case, and more than $1 billion in its bull case. Most would come from selling more Roku video ads and bundling Fox One. Risks include a pricier NFL renewal and competition from Walmart-owned Vizio.

FOX AdStudio advances to next phase as leading agency partners put agentic advertising into action.

FOX AdStudio advances to next phase as leading agency partners put agentic advertising into action. WPP, Omnicom, Horizon, Stagwell and Simulmedia join FOX Advertising in completing live agentic linear transactions with enhancements including intelligent inventory recommendations. New York, NY - WEBWIRE - Thursday, October 15, 2026 FOX Advertising today announced the next phase of its agentic advertising platform, powered by FOX AdStudio, as leading agency and technology partners put its agent-to-agent capabilities into action for live campaigns and commercial linear media transactions. In June, FOX Advertising announced the industry's first end-to-end agentic advertising platform, demonstrating that it had built the technology and infrastructure to embed agents across audience planning, media transactions and activation. Now, FOX Advertising is advancing that foundation with WPP, Omnicom, Horizon Media, Stagwell and Simulmedia executing agentic linear transactions for live campaigns through an evolved agentic infrastructure designed to support broader real-world execution. The enhanced infrastructure creates a centralized and secure connection point for partners to interact with FOX AdStudio. A FOX agent routes each partner to its own dedicated, permissioned account, providing direct agent-to-agent connectivity. The platform now also incorporates an integrated governance engine that monitors agent activity throughout the workflow for compliance and adherence to established protocols. Built-in controls further advance FOX AdStudio's security-first approach. The new capabilities also enable a more intelligent linear transaction. When requested inventory is unavailable, the FOX agent can recommend alternative inventory based on the advertiser's target audience rather than simply removing unavailable inventory from the order. This lays the foundation for more guided agentic transactions over time, with strong guardrails and human oversight remaining essential throughout the process. FOX Advertising and agency teams maintain control over key decisions. "From the beginning, our vision for agentic advertising has been to connect the campaign lifecycle and create a more seamless and effective experience for advertisers," said Jeff Collins, President of FOX Advertising, Marketing and Brand Partnerships. "In June, we demonstrated that we had built the technology and infrastructure to make end-to-end agentic advertising possible. Now, together with our partners, we're putting those capabilities to work on live campaigns - moving agentic advertising from capability to real-world execution while maintaining the governance and human oversight essential to doing it responsibly." _________ What our Partners say: "We're thrilled with the progress we're making together with FOX Advertising. Our ability to safely execute live agent-to-agent transactions is an important technical milestone in our broader effort to define the standards that will allow our industry to put this powerful technology to work for clients responsibly and at scale." - Susan Schiekofer, Chief Media Officer, WPP Media US. "Connecting our Omni marketing intelligence platform to the Fox Ad Studio enables Omnicom to plan audiences against linear and CTV exposure data, agentically orchestrated and transacted at a spot level based on client outcomes." - Justin Wroe, Chief Commercial Officer, Omnicom Media "Building directly on our launch of an agentic orchestration layer for real-time media decisioning, Horizon is accelerating direct agent-to-agent communication between Horizon and FOX through our open ecosystem partner, Databricks, to transform the process of media buying. Frictionless, automated workflows represent the next critical milestone in operationalizing a truly functional orchestration layer for our clients." - Navneet Singh, SVP, Programmatic Innovation, Horizon Media "Linear remains an important part of how our clients reach audiences at scale, and it's a market where speed has been hard to come by. With The Media Machine, Stagwell's agentic media operating system, connecting directly to FOX AdStudio, our agent can turn a client brief into an actionable media plan in real time, dramatically simplifying the buying process and deliver agility to our clients across the media ecosystem." - Marissa Jimenez, Global Chief Trading and Solutions Officer at Stagwell Media Platform. "What Fox has pioneered here with their true agentic transaction architecture has enormous consequences for the media world. For the first time in TV history, advertisers and agencies can optimize their linear TV ad campaigns like digital, with automated, agent-to-agent negotiations at the spot, schedule, flight and target-level mid-campaign based on advertisers' closed loop outcome data such as web visits, app downloads, phone calls, purchases online or in-store or real-time trends in search, social or on AI answer engines." - Dave Morgan, Founder and CEO of Simulmedia: About Fox Corporation Fox Corporation produces and distributes compelling news, sports, and entertainment content through its primary iconic domestic brands, including FOX News Media, FOX Sports, Tubi Media Group, FOX Entertainment and FOX Television Stations.

Fox debuts new MLB scorebug to mixed reviews.

Fox debuts new MLB scorebug to mixed reviews. Fox brought out a new scorebug and new graphics for Game 1 of the NLCS. Less AI and more AA in your search results. The beginning of the 2026 National League Championship Series also meant the beginning of a new scorebug for Fox. Fox debuted a new MLB scorebug and some new graphics on its Game 1 broadcast of the NLCS between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday night. Compare that to the previous MLB on Fox scorebug: Reactions to the new Fox scorebug have been very mixed. The new MLB on FOX graphics and scorebug are clean and a big improvement over what they had imo I wasn't a fan of the ones they have had in recent years. Font could improve tho https://t.co/yUEDliYzRg - Brandon | 🇪🇸 | (@ColoBrandoni13) October 12, 2026 It's interesting that Fox chose to debut the new scorebug in the NLCS rather than in the NLDS or on the biggest stage, the World Series. The NLCS and the World Series will be televised exclusively on Fox platforms, so get used to seeing the new scorebug and graphics in the coming days and weeks.
