Fox's concentrated portfolio of news and sports positions it well compared with peers that have greater general entertainment exposure, according to analysts. Fox reported advertising revenue of $1.01 billion, beating expectations of $985.7 million, according to Visible Alpha. Spending for political ads appears to have started early and is greater than previous election cycles, analysts have said.
