No clue why people are screaming... I was trying to reference Firefly, but I knew by the time I posted it I failed miserably... oh well.

The confusion shall persist. I applaud the attempt to sort out who is with the Alliance, who is with the Independents and who is with the Reavers. But the distinction between 20th Century Fox the Studio and FOX TV is not at all as clear as any of us would like. I almost believe it is the intent of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation (owner of ALL things Fox-ish) to confuse the Fed come tax time.
If you go the News Corporation website, the links to "20 Century Fox Television" and "Fox Television Studios" on the "Filmed Entertainment" page, and the link to "Fox Broadcasting Company" on the "Television" page all lead to the same URL: FOX--the enemy--dot com. In the News Corporate structure there is no separate entity of 20th Century Fox Studios. The 20th Century Fox Film Corp., which we usually associate with the studio concept is only for motion pictures, not television.
So, yes, I do believe there is a line somewhere in this mess, and maybe the description provided will work as good shorthand, I don't think it's nearly that simple.
As far as 20th Century Fox (whichever the good one is) buying out Fox Broadcasting, BEB, it's moot. Both are working for the common good of their parent corporation. As in any corporate melange, it's not difficult to get along with one branch and despise another. We get along great with the copy room, and can't stand the IT nerds. (Just an example; don't hate me; I love IT people. Mostly. Okay, some.)

According to Wikipedia, it's all Murdoch. Not saying anything about which company is evil.
But, the Billionaire Tyrant is CEO of NewsCorp, which owns them both.

FOX (the network) has no rights to Firefly; those expired when they canceled the show. They make no money from Firefly.
I see no reason to castigate folks for buying Firefly DVDs, which benefits 20th Century Fox, the studio that always supported Joss's work.
To summarize:
20th Century Fox ... the Good
FOX .................. the Bad
Fox .................. the ambiguous
Keep the Shiny Side Up . . .
Where are you getting your facts? Enquiring minds want to know.

There was a website (Forgot the URL) that allowed you to type in ANY company, and see ALL it's branches, roots, spin offs etc etc...
and you're right, it all lead back to "NewsCorp".. I was using the URL while investing (A phase I went through) because I didn't see how a company could "Fail" (Or not show a profit) when the owners and above it, and the spin offs below it, DID show a profit... (not that I was complaining, cause the division I invested in was showing profits)
It all boils down to taxes and stock values, and sometimes I think each "Division" takes a turn at taking a loss to keep several other stock values higher (IE: pushing their losses into a smaller subsiderary to keep the parent company's stock value up).. I haven't seen anything in 3 years to make me believe otherwise either. You can almost predict which subsiderary will take the next loss... but the Hydra heads all run back to Murdoch (But he makes me money, so I hate to complain about him ;)
