Question: John Hodulik - UBS Securities LLC - Analyst
: Okay. Great. Thanks, guys. Lachlan, I got a follow-up on the [D2C] comment that you talked about launching in the near future. Any
additional details you could provide in terms of timing what's included and whether you need additional rights or any costs associated
with launching the [DTC] service.
And then on affiliate, you saw some nice acceleration there, and it sounds like you guys got all the renewals done. Any color in terms
of pricing or what you see in terms of volumes that have been driving that acceleration? Thanks.
Question: Michael Morris - Guggenheim Securities LLC - Analyst
: Thank you. Good morning. I wanted to ask about the strength that you're seeing at Fox News advertising. Maybe you can expand
on that a bit. It sounds like you're seeing incremental and arguably sustainable demand from some of -- from advertising buyers.
And I'm curious if you think I'm interpreting that right? And just sort of what the dynamic and what the sustainability is of the changes
that you're seeing there?
I also want to ask about the Tubi Super Bowl live stream. It seems like a big deal. Can you talk a little bit about what you hope to
achieve by doing that? And then are there any incremental costs related with that? Are there concerns about service quality? Because
I know that streaming big live events can be complicated. Appreciate it.
Question: Michael Morris - Guggenheim Securities LLC - Analyst
: Okay, thank you.
Question: Michael Ng - Goldman Sachs & Company, Inc. - Analyst
: Hey, good morning. Thank you for the question. I wanted to ask about the subscriber trends, declines of 7% improving -- are you
seeing any of the impact from the benefits of skinny bundle inclusion yet? Do you expect to outperform the market on sub declines
over time because of inclusion there? And then just a quick follow-up to Steve. You had said that you expect digital losses to go
from, I think, mid-$300 million last year to high $200 million. Any updates there just given the comments around investing as well
as the 2b outperformance today? Thank you.

FEBRUARY 04, 2025 / 1:30PM, FOXA.OQ - Q2 2025 Fox Corp Earnings Call
Question: Robert Fishman - MoffettNathanson - Analyst
: Hi. Good morning, everyone. Just following up on the sports strategy. After? Netflix won the rights for Women's World Cup, can you
just talk about how you feel FOX is positioned to continue to compete with Netflix and the other digital bidders for future sports
rights. And then just to clarify on the [D2C] offering coming back to that, will that plan include FOX News or [FOX Nation] content?
Or is that just a sports-only offering. Thanks so much.
