Fox Corp disclosed a 20 percent decline in advertising revenue on Wednesday, attributing it to reduced political ad spending. The uncertainty surrounding future ad spending and the outlook for sports programming contributed to a roughly 6 percent drop in the company's shares reported Reuters.

The platform will be targeted to capture the younger audiences on connected TV.
The new streaming service will combine 14 linear networks and is expected to be priced at above $40 per month.
