Telstra and News Corp have confirmed Fox Sports and Foxtel will merge into one “premium sports and entertainment company”, with the aim to complete the deal by the first half of 2018.

It comes three months after Australian News Channel (ANC) – the operators of Sky News – began taking on producing responsibilities for the Fox Sports News Channel.

It is not yet clear if the merger will result in redundancies.
