Fox names new streaming service ‘Fox One,' plans launch before football season
Fox said its new subscription-based streaming service will be called 'Fox One' and is set to launch before the fall American football season, as the media company seeks to reach audiences beyond its mainstay cable television business.
Unveiling further details on Monday about the service first announced in February, Fox said pricing for Fox One would align with its wholesale rates and would not be offered at a discount.
Shares of the company rose nearly 5% as it also reported quarterly profit and revenue exceeding Wall Street expectations, thanks to a surge in advertising revenue driven by its broadcast of 'Super Bowl LIX' in February.

The Murdoch family-controlled company has largely sat out the streaming race between legacy media and firms such as Netflix, betting instead on ad revenue from its free Tubi streaming service that has about 97 million monthly active users.
Fox will partner with other distributors and services to offer Fox One, CEO Lachlan Murdoch told analysts, hinting at potentially bundling deals with other streamers — a strategy that has gained traction as companies look to curb subscriber churn.

'The pricing will be healthy,' Murdoch said, adding Fox does not want to lose cable subscribers to the streaming service.
In the March quarter, more advertisers turned to the owner of FOX News, FOX Sports and Tubi to capture its growing viewership. An estimated 127.7 million viewers tuned in for the Super Bowl National Football League championship broadcast by Fox, the largest audience in TV history for a single-network telecast, according to Nielsen. Advertisers paid as much as $8 million for 30 seconds of commercial time during the game.

Investing in LIMES Schlosskliniken (ETR:LIK) five years ago would have delivered you a 280% gain
When you buy shares in a company, it's worth keeping in mind the possibility that it could fail, and you could lose your money. But when you pick a company that is really flourishing, you can make more than 100%. For instance, the price of LIMES Schlosskliniken AG (ETR:LIK) stock is up an impressive 280% over the last five years. It's also up 29% in about a month. Let's take a look at the underlying fundamentals over the longer term, and see if they've been consistent with shareholders returns. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. To quote Buffett, 'Ships will sail around the world but the Flat Earth Society will flourish. There will continue to be wide discrepancies between price and value in the marketplace...' One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement. During the five years of share price growth, LIMES Schlosskliniken moved from a loss to profitability. Sometimes, the start of profitability is a major inflection point that can signal fast earnings growth to come, which in turn justifies very strong share price gains. You can see below how EPS has changed over time (discover the exact values by clicking on the image). This free interactive report on LIMES Schlosskliniken's earnings, revenue and cash flow is a great place to start, if you want to investigate the stock further. While the broader market gained around 19% in the last year, LIMES Schlosskliniken shareholders lost 0.6%. Even the share prices of good stocks drop sometimes, but we want to see improvements in the fundamental metrics of a business, before getting too interested. Longer term investors wouldn't be so upset, since they would have made 31%, each year, over five years. If the fundamental data continues to indicate long term sustainable growth, the current sell-off could be an opportunity worth considering. Before forming an opinion on LIMES Schlosskliniken you might want to consider these 3 valuation metrics. For those who like to find winning investments this free list of undervalued companies with recent insider purchasing, could be just the ticket.

Bryson DeChambeau 'Inspired by Scottie Scheffler,' Looks to Repeat
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. This week, the golf world's attention is zeroing in on Oakmont Country Club for one of the most anticipated events of the year, the 125th U.S. Open. Known for chewing up even the steadiest of players, this championship is golf's ultimate test. Last year, it was LIV Golf's Bryson DeChambeau who hoisted the trophy for the second time. Now, he's coming back to own the moment once again. He is especially motivated mostly after two major disappointments. OAKMONT, PENNSYLVANIA - JUNE 10: Bryson DeChambeau of the United States speaks to the media during a practice round prior to the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 10, 2025 in Oakmont,...

(Photo by) More Getty Images His first heartbreak came at Augusta when he faded away from Rory McIlroy that final Sunday. The PGA Championship, too, was no different story. DeChambeau finished at T2, but five strokes back of Scottie Scheffler. In a candid moment ahead of his U.S. Open title defense, Bryson revealed the name that's been pushing him lately. "I would say that the biggest influence career is Ben Hogan, Greg Norman and Tiger Woods," he said. "Tiger Woods pushed the boundaries on what we thought was possible with golf. As time goes on, Scottie Scheffler is an inspiration as well in terms of how well he's playing. "I want to play to that level and inspire to play to that level as well." It's not every day that a reigning U.S. Open champion tips his cap to a rival, but Scheffler's dominance has made it hard to ignore. Scheffler won the 2024 Masters at 10-under, earning his second green jacket. Then, he captured his third major title at this year's PGA Championship, running away from the field during the final round. He level of consistency is something to marvel at. Scheffler has been ranked No. 1 in the world for 107 consecutive weeks. That is the longest stretch since prime Tiger Woods. His consistency, especially under pressure, has made him the man to beat at Oakmont. More Golf: Collin Morikawa Shows Stones with Bold U.S. Open Proclamation
