Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc. and its subsidiaries (together, “Twenty-First Century Fox” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation. Twenty-First Century Fox is a diversified global media and entertainment company, which manages and reports its businesses in five segments: Cable Network Programming, Television, Filmed Entertainment, Direct Broadcast Satellite Television (“DBS”) and Other, Corporate and Eliminations. The DBS segment consisted entirely of the operations of Sky Italia and Sky Deutschland AG (“Sky Deutschland”). On November 12, 2014, Twenty-First Century Fox completed the previously announced sale of Sky Italia and its 57% interest in Sky Deutschland to British Sky Broadcasting Group plc, which was subsequently renamed Sky plc (“Sky”) (See Note 2 – Acquisitions, Disposals and Other Transactions). Sky is a pan-European digital television provider, which operates in Italy, Germany, Austria, the United Kingdom and Ireland. Following the sale of the DBS businesses, the Company continues to report in five segments for comparative purposes, and there is no future activity in the DBS segment.
	The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015.
	These interim Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 14, 2014 (the “2014 Form 10-K”).
	The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Twenty-First Century Fox. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation, including the intercompany portion of transactions with equity method investees. Investments in and advances to equity or joint ventures in which the Company has significant influence, but less than a controlling voting interest, are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in which the Company has no significant influence are designated as available-for-sale investments if readily determinable market values are available. If an investment’s fair value is not readily determinable, the Company accounts for its investment at cost.
	The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts that are reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Certain fiscal 2014 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2015 presentation. Unless indicated otherwise, the information in the notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements relate to the Company’s continuing operations.
	Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
	Adopted
	In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-05, “Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity”, (“ASU 2013-05”). The objective of ASU 2013-05 is to resolve the diversity in practice regarding the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets or a business within a foreign entity. ASU 2013-05 is effective for the Company for interim reporting periods beginning July 1, 2014. The Company’s adoption of ASU 2013-05 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Acquisitions Disposals And Other Transactions [Abstract]
Acquisitions, Disposals and Other Transactions	NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS, DISPOSALS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS
	The Company’s acquisitions support the Company’s strategic priority of increasing its brand presence and reach in key domestic and international markets, acquiring greater control of investments that complement its portfolio of businesses, creating new pay-TV sports franchises and leveraging its sports broadcasting rights.
	Fiscal 2015
	Acquisitions
	San Francisco-Bay Area Television Stations
	In October 2014, the Company acquired two San Francisco-Bay area television stations, KTVU-TV FOX 2 and KICU-TV 36, with a fair value of approximately $220 million from Cox Media Group in exchange for the Company’s FOX Broadcasting Company (“FOX”) affiliated stations WHBQ-TV FOX 13 and WFXT-TV FOX 25, located in the Memphis and Boston markets, respectively. The aggregate excess purchase price of $175 million has been preliminarily allocated, based on a provisional valuation of the two San Francisco-Bay area television stations, as follows: approximately $170 million to intangible assets, of which approximately $105 million has been allocated to FCC licenses with indefinite lives and $65 million to amortizable intangible assets, primarily retransmission agreements with useful lives of approximately 8 years; and the balance of the excess representing the goodwill on the transaction.
	As the accounting for the business combination is based on provisional amounts and the allocation of the excess purchase price is not final, the amounts allocated to intangibles and goodwill, the estimates of useful lives and the related amortization expense are subject to changes pending the completion of the final valuation of certain assets and liabilities. A change in the purchase price allocation and any estimates of useful lives could result in a change in the value allocated to intangible assets that could impact future amortization expense.
	Dispositions
	Sky Italia and Sky Deutschland
	In January 2011, the Company purchased a convertible bond from Sky Deutschland for approximately $225 million. In October 2014, the Company exercised its right to convert the bonds into 53.9 million Sky Deutschland shares, increasing the Company’s ownership interest to 57%.
	On November 12, 2014, the Company sold its 100% and 57% ownership stakes in Sky Italia and Sky Deutschland, respectively, to Sky for approximately $8.8 billion in value comprised of approximately $8.2 billion in cash received, net of $650 million of cash paid to acquire Sky’s 21% interest in NGC Network International LLC and NGC Network Latin America LLC (collectively “NGC International”), increasing the Company’s ownership stake in NGC International to 73%. In connection with this transaction, the Company participated in Sky’s equity offering in July 2014 by purchasing additional shares in Sky for approximately $900 million and maintained the Company’s 39% ownership interest. As a result of the transaction, Sky Italia and Sky Deutschland ceased to be consolidated subsidiaries of the Company. The Company recorded a gain of $5.0 billion on this transaction, which was included in Other, net in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014. The resulting current income tax liability on this transaction will be substantially offset by the utilization of capital loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits (See Note 14 – Additional Financial Information).
	The historical operating results of Sky Italia and Sky Deutschland and the gain on their disposal have not been classified as discontinued operations in the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, as the Company has a continuing involvement in Sky.
	The following table presents the summarized assets and liabilities of Sky Italia and Sky Deutschland:
		As of		As of
		November 12,		June 30,
		2014		2014
		(in millions)

	Total non-current liabilities		674		635
	Total liabilities	$	2,559	$	2,436
	Shine Group
	The Company and funds managed by Apollo Global Management, LLC (“Apollo”) formed Endemol Shine Group in December 2014, to which the Company contributed its interests in Shine Group and cash, comprising an aggregate carrying value of approximately $830 million. The joint venture, a global multi-platform content provider, is comprised of Shine Group, Endemol, and CORE Media Group and is jointly managed by the Company and Apollo, with each owning 50%. As a result of the transaction, Shine Group ceased to be a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. The Company recorded a gain of $63 million on this transaction which was included in Other, net in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014. For income tax purposes, this was structured as a tax free transaction. The Company’s investment in the Endemol Shine Group is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
	The historical operating results of Shine Group and the gain on its disposal have not been classified as discontinued operations in the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, as the Company has a continuing involvement in Endemol Shine Group.
	Fiscal 2014
	Acquisitions
	Yankees Entertainment and Sports Network
	On February 28, 2014, the Company acquired an additional 31% interest in the Yankees Entertainment and Sports Network (the “YES Network”), increasing the Company’s ownership interest to 80%, for approximately $680 million, net of cash acquired. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company has consolidated the balance sheet and operating results of the YES Network, including $1.7 billion in debt. The remaining 20% of the YES Network not owned by the Company has been recorded at a fair value of approximately $385 million on the acquisition date based on the Company’s valuation of the YES Network business using a market approach (a Level 3 measurement as defined in Note 7 – Fair Value). The carrying amount of the Company’s previously held equity interest in the YES Network was revalued to its fair value of approximately $860 million as of the acquisition date. The aggregate excess purchase price has been allocated, based on a valuation of 100% of the YES Network, as follows: approximately $1.7 billion to intangible assets consisting of multi-channel video programming distributor (“MVPD”) affiliate agreements and relationships with useful lives of 20 years and advertiser relationships with useful lives of 6 years, and the indefinite-lived YES Network trade name; approximately $1.7 billion to debt; approximately $1.6 billion representing the goodwill on the transaction; and other net assets. The goodwill reflects the synergies and increased market penetration expected from combining the operations of the YES Network and the Company.

	Separation of News Corp
	On June 28, 2013, the Company completed the separation of its business into two independent publicly traded companies (the “Separation”) by distributing to its stockholders all of the outstanding shares of the new News Corporation (“News Corp”).

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value	NOTE 7. FAIR VALUE
	In accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, fair value measurements are required to be disclosed using a three-tiered fair value hierarchy which distinguishes market participant assumptions into the following categories: (i) inputs that are quoted prices in active markets (“Level 1”); (ii) inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities (“Level 2”); and (iii) inputs that require the entity to use its own assumptions about market participant assumptions (“Level 3”).
	The tables below present information about financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis:

	(d)	The Company accounts for redeemable noncontrolling interests in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, because their exercise is outside the control of the Company. The redeemable noncontrolling interests recorded at fair value are put arrangements held by the noncontrolling interests in certain of the Company’s majority-owned sports networks. The Company utilizes the market, income or cost approaches or a combination of these valuation techniques for its Level 3 fair value measures, using observable inputs such as market data obtained from independent sources. To the extent observable inputs are not available, the Company utilizes unobservable inputs based upon the assumptions market participants would use in valuing the asset (liability). As of December 31, 2014, one minority shareholder’s put right is currently exercisable and another minority shareholder’s put right will become exercisable in March 2015. The remaining redeemable noncontrolling interest is currently not exercisable and is not material.

For foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges, the Company expects to reclassify the cumulative changes in fair values, included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, within the next 12 months. Cash flows from the settlement of derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges offset cash flows from the underlying hedged items and are included in operating activities in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with several financial institutions. The Company has deposits held with banks that exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and, therefore, bear minimal credit risk.
The Company’s receivables did not represent significant concentrations of credit risk as of December 31, 2014 or June 30, 2014 due to the wide variety of customers, markets and geographic areas to which the Company’s products and services are sold.
The Company monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions which are counterparties to its financial instruments. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the agreements. As of December 31, 2014, the Company did not anticipate nonperformance by any of the counterparties.

The Company owns broadcast station licensees in connection with its ownership and operation of U.S. television stations. The suspension of voting rights of shares of Class B Common Stock held by Non-U.S. Stockholders is currently at 10%.

Voting Agreement with the Murdoch Family Interests
On April 18, 2012, the Murdoch Family Trust and K.

Under this agreement, the Murdoch Family Interests will not vote or provide voting instructions with respect to a portion of their shares of Class B Common Stock to the extent that doing so would increase their percentage of voting power from what it was prior to the suspension of voting rights. Currently, as a result of the suspension of voting rights, the aggregate percentage vote of the Murdoch Family Interests is at 39.1% of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock not subject to the suspension of voting rights, and the percentage vote may be adjusted as provided in the agreement with the Company.

As a result, all currently outstanding equity awards granted to the Company’s named executive officers are stock-settled and the remaining cash-settled awards outstanding are not material.

	As of December 31, 2014, the Company’s total compensation cost related to equity-based awards, not yet recognized, was approximately $165 million, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period between one and two years. Compensation expense on all equity-based awards is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the entire award. However, certain performance based awards are recognized on an accelerated basis.
	As of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, the liability for cash-settled awards was approximately $15 million and $165 million, respectively. Cash-settled awards are marked-to-market at each reporting period.
	Performance Stock Units
	The Company’s stock based awards are granted in Class A Common Stock. During the six months ended December 31, 2014, approximately 4.1 million performance stock units (“PSUs”) were granted and approximately 6.9 million PSUs vested. Approximately 1.7 million units of the awards that vested were settled in cash.
	During the six months ended December 31, 2013, approximately 4.9 million PSUs were granted and approximately 2.8 million PSUs vested. Approximately 2.1 million units of the awards that vested were settled in cash.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
	Commitments
	The Company has commitments under certain firm contractual arrangements (“firm commitments”) to make future payments. These firm commitments secure the future rights to various assets and services to be used in the normal operations. The total firm commitments and future debt payments as of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 were $76 billion and $87 billion, respectively. The decrease from June 30, 2014 was primarily due to the sale of the DBS businesses in November 2014 (See Note 2 – Acquisitions, Disposals and Other Transactions), partially offset by commitments under a new contract with the International Cricket Council (“ICC”).
	Guarantees
	The Company’s guarantees as of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 were $807 million and $724 million, respectively. The increase from June 30, 2014 was primarily due to the Company obtaining a bank guarantee covering its programming rights obligation in connection with the agreement with the ICC.
	Contingencies
	Shareholder Litigation
	Southern District of New York
	On July 19, 2011, a purported class action lawsuit captioned Wilder v. News Corp., et al. (“Wilder Litigation”), was filed on behalf of all purchasers of the Company’s common stock between March 3, 2011 and July 11, 2011, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The plaintiff brought claims under Section 10(b) and Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act, alleging that false and misleading statements were issued regarding the alleged acts of voicemail interception at The News of the World. The suit names as defendants the Company, Rupert Murdoch, James Murdoch and Rebekah Brooks, and seeks compensatory damages, rescission for damages sustained, and costs. On June 5, 2012, the court issued an order appointing the Avon Pension Fund (“Avon”) as lead plaintiff and Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd as lead counsel. Thereafter, on July 3, 2012, the court issued an order providing that an amended consolidated complaint shall be filed by July 31, 2012. Avon filed an amended consolidated complaint on July 31, 2012, which among other things, added as defendants NI Group Limited (now known as News Corp UK & Ireland Limited) and Les Hinton, and expanded the class period to include February 15, 2011 to July 18, 2011. The defendants filed motions to dismiss the litigation, which were granted by the court on March 31, 2014. Plaintiffs were allowed to amend their complaint, and on April 30, 2014, plaintiffs filed a second amended consolidated complaint, which generally repeats the allegations of the amended consolidated complaint and also expands the class period to July 8, 2009 to July 18, 2011. On August 11, 2014, defendants filed motions to dismiss the second amended consolidated complaint, and on October 24, 2014, plaintiffs opposed those motions. On November 21, 2014, defendants filed their replies to plaintiffs’ opposition. The Company’s management believes the claims in the Wilder Litigation are entirely without merit, and intends to vigorously defend those claims.
	U.K. Newspaper Matters and Related Investigations and Litigation
	In 2011, U.S. regulators and governmental authorities initiated investigations with respect to phone hacking, illegal data access and inappropriate payments to public officials that occurred at subsidiaries of News Corp (the “U.K. Newspaper Matters”). On January 28, 2015, the Company was notified by the United States Department of Justice that it has completed its investigation relating to the U.K. Newspaper Matters, and is declining to prosecute the Company.
	In connection with the Separation, the Company and News Corp agreed in the Separation and Distribution Agreement that the Company will indemnify News Corp, on an after-tax basis, for payments made after the Separation arising out of civil claims and investigations relating to the U.K. Newspaper Matters, as well as legal and professional fees and expenses paid in connection with the related criminal matters, other than fees, expenses and costs relating to employees who are not (i) directors, officers or certain designated employees or (ii) with respect to civil matters, co-defendants with News Corp (the “Indemnity”). As of June 30, 2014, the Company recognized approximately $80 million as its obligation under the Indemnity, of which approximately $65 million related to the amounts payable to News Corp and approximately $15 million for the remaining unamortized fair value of expected future payments to be made under the Indemnity. Pursuant to ASC 460, “Guarantees”, the amount provided for future payments is being amortized in a systematic pattern that reflects the release from the underlying risks and is included in (Loss) income from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has recognized approximately $60 million as its obligation under the Indemnity, of which approximately $55 million relates to amounts payable to News Corp and approximately $5 million for the remaining unamortized fair value of expected future payments to be made under the Indemnity. Pursuant to the Indemnity, the Company made payments of $28 million to News Corp during the six months ended December 31, 2014. If additional information becomes available and as payments are made, the Company will update the liability provision for the Indemnity. Any changes to the liability provision for the Indemnity in the future will impact the results of operations for that period. The liability provision for the Indemnity was estimated by probability weighting expected payments to be made to News Corp under such Agreement and discounting probability-weighted expected payments to the valuation date, using a discount rate based on the Company’s cost of debt.
	Other
	Equity purchase arrangements that are exercisable by the counter-party to the agreement, and that are outside the sole control of the Company, are accounted for in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A. Accordingly, the fair values of such equity purchase arrangements are classified in Redeemable noncontrolling interests. Other than the arrangements classified in Redeemable noncontrolling interests, the Company is party to several other purchase and sale arrangements which become exercisable at various points in time. However these arrangements are currently either not exercisable in the next twelve months or are not material.
	The Company’s operations are subject to tax in various domestic and international jurisdictions and as a matter of course, the Company is regularly audited by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. The Company believes it has appropriately accrued for the expected outcome of all pending tax matters and does not currently anticipate that the ultimate resolution of pending tax matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, future results of operations or liquidity.
	The Company establishes an accrued liability for legal claims when the Company determines that a loss is both probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Once established, accruals are adjusted from time to time, as appropriate, in light of additional information. The amount of any loss ultimately incurred in relation to matters for which an accrual has been established may be higher or lower than the amounts accrued for such matters. Any fees, expenses, fines, penalties, judgments or settlements which might be incurred by the Company in connection with the various proceedings could affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. For the contingencies disclosed above for which there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred, other than the accrual provided, the Company was unable to estimate the amount of loss or range of loss.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	NOTE 13. SEGMENT INFORMATION
	The Company is a diversified global media and entertainment company, which manages and reports its businesses in the following five segments:
	·	Cable Network Programming, which principally consists of the production and licensing of programming distributed primarily through cable television systems, direct broadcast satellite operators, telecommunication companies and online video distributors in the U.S. and internationally.
	·	Television, which principally consists of the broadcasting of network programming in the U.S. and the operation of 28 full power broadcast television stations, including 11 duopolies, in the U.S. (of these stations, 17 are affiliated with FOX, 10 are affiliated with Master Distribution Service, Inc. (“MyNetworkTV”) and one is an independent station).
	·	Filmed Entertainment, which principally consists of the production and acquisition of live-action and animated motion pictures for distribution and licensing in all formats in all entertainment media worldwide, and the production and licensing of television programming worldwide.
	·	Direct Broadcast Satellite Television, which consisted of the distribution of programming services via satellite, cable, and broadband directly to subscribers in Italy, Germany and Austria. The DBS segment consisted entirely of the operations of Sky Italia and Sky Deutschland. On November 12, 2014, Twenty-First Century Fox completed the previously announced sale of Sky Italia and its 57% interest in Sky Deutschland to Sky (See Note 2 – Acquisitions, Disposals and Other Transactions). Following the sale of the DBS businesses, the Company continues to report in five segments for comparative purposes.
	·	Other, Corporate and Eliminations, which principally consists of corporate overhead and eliminations and other businesses.
	The Company’s operating segments have been determined in accordance with the Company’s internal management structure, which is organized based on operating activities. The Company evaluates performance based upon several factors, of which the primary financial measure is Segment OIBDA. Due to the integrated nature of these operating segments, estimates and judgments are made in allocating certain assets, revenues and expenses.
	Segment OIBDA is defined as Revenues less Operating expenses and Selling, general and administrative expenses. Segment OIBDA does not include: Amortization of cable distribution investments, Depreciation and amortization, Impairment charges, Equity earnings of affiliates, Interest expense, net, Interest income, Other, net, Income tax expense and Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Management believes that Segment OIBDA is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company’s business segments because it is the primary measure used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to evaluate the performance of and allocate resources within the Company’s businesses.
	Management believes that information about Total Segment OIBDA assists all users of the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements by allowing them to evaluate changes in the operating results of the Company’s portfolio of businesses separate from non-operational factors that affect net income, thus providing insight into both operations and the other factors that affect reported results. Total Segment OIBDA provides management, investors and equity analysts a measure to analyze the operating performance of the Company’s business and its enterprise value against historical data and competitors’ data, although historical results, including Segment OIBDA and Total Segment OIBDA, may not be indicative of future results (as operating performance is highly contingent on many factors, including customer tastes and preferences).
	Total Segment OIBDA is a non-GAAP measure and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, net income, cash flow and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. In addition, this measure does not reflect cash available to fund requirements and excludes items, such as depreciation and amortization and impairment charges, which are significant components in assessing the Company’s financial performance.

	Balance, December 31, 2014		$	(1,352	)	$	(450	)	$	(1,802	)
	The Company had deferred tax assets of $60 million and $61 million as of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, respectively. The Company had current deferred tax liabilities of $80 million and nil as of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, respectively.
	The Company also had non-current deferred tax liabilities of $1,782 million and $2,729 million as of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, respectively.
	The primary reason for change in the net deferred tax liabilities is due to the sale of the DBS businesses. This allowed for the utilization of capital loss carryforwards and foreign tax credit carryforwards to offset the current income tax liability attributable to the sale. Previously, these tax assets had a full valuation allowance recorded. As a result of the transaction, the associated valuation allowance was reversed. The Company also reversed the valuation allowance associated with the Company’s remaining foreign tax credit carryforwards as it separately determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will utilize these foreign tax credit carryforwards prior to their expiration.

Condensed Financial Information Of Parent Company Only Disclosure [Abstract]
Supplemental Guarantor Information	TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY FOX, INC.
	NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
	NOTE 15. SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION
	In May 2012, 21CFA entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), among 21CFA as Borrower, the Company as Parent Guarantor, the lenders named therein, the initial issuing banks named therein, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan Chase”) and Citibank, N.A. as Co-Administrative Agents, JPMorgan Chase as Designated Agent and Bank of America, N.A. as Syndication Agent. The Credit Agreement provides a $2 billion unsecured revolving credit facility with a sub-limit of $400 million (or its equivalent in Euros) available for the issuance of letters of credit and a maturity date of May 2017. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company may request an increase in the amount of the credit facility up to a maximum amount of $2.5 billion and the Company may request that the maturity date be extended for up to two additional one-year periods. Borrowings are issuable in U.S. dollars only, while letters of credit are issuable in U.S. dollars or Euros. The material terms of the agreement include the requirement that the Company maintain specific leverage ratios and limitations on secured indebtedness. Fees under the Credit Agreement will be based on the Company’s long-term senior unsecured non-credit enhanced debt ratings. Given the current debt ratings, 21CFA pays a facility fee of 0.125% and an initial drawn cost of LIBOR plus 1.125%.
	The Parent Guarantor presently guarantees the senior public indebtedness of 21CFA and the guarantee is full and unconditional. The supplemental condensed consolidating financial information of the Parent Guarantor should be read in conjunction with these Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
	In accordance with rules and regulations of the SEC, the Company uses the equity method to account for the results of all of the non-guarantor subsidiaries, representing substantially all of the Company’s consolidated results of operations, excluding certain intercompany eliminations.
	The following condensed consolidating financial statements present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of 21CFA, the Company and the subsidiaries of the Company and the eliminations and reclassifications necessary to arrive at the information for the Company on a consolidated basis.
	With respect to the six months ended December 31, 2014, we identified certain adjustments, which the Company determined were not material, related to the presentation of Earnings (losses) from subsidiary entities for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 and for the year ended June 30, 2014 and Intragroup investments as of June 30, 2014. These revisions had no impact on any consolidated totals of the condensed consolidating financial statements. These revisions impacted the amounts presented in the 21CFA column (increasing the amounts presented as Earnings (losses) from subsidiary entities, Income tax (expense) benefit and Comprehensive income (loss) attributable to Twenty-First Century Fox stockholders) and in the Reclassifications and Eliminations column in the Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 and for the year ended June 30, 2014 and the amounts presented in the 21CFA column (increasing the Intragroup investments and Equity) and in the Reclassifications and Eliminations column in the Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2014. These adjustments were not reflected in the previously filed Supplemental Guarantor Information filed with our Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on February 7, 2014 and with our 2014 Form 10-K.
	Accordingly, the Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 and for the year ended June 30, 2014 and Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2014 have been revised to reflect the immaterial adjustments described above. Fiscal 2015 amounts have been prepared to conform to this presentation. Future filings will also reflect increased 21CFA and reclassification/elimination amounts of Earnings (losses) from subsidiary entities, Income tax (expense) benefit, Comprehensive income (loss) attributable to Twenty-First Century Fox stockholders, Intragroup investments and Equity for prior periods.

Notes to Supplemental Guarantor Information
-1	Investments in the Company’s subsidiaries, for purposes of the supplemental consolidating presentation, are accounted for by their parent companies under the equity method of accounting whereby earnings of subsidiaries are reflected in the respective parent company’s investment account and earnings.
-2	The guarantees of 21CFA’s senior public indebtedness constitute senior indebtedness of the Company, and rank pari passu with all present and future senior indebtedness of the Company. Because the factual basis underlying the obligations created pursuant to the various facilities and other obligations constituting senior indebtedness of the Company differ, it is not possible to predict how a court in bankruptcy would accord priorities among the obligations of the Company.

Summary_of_Significant_Account

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	6 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Twenty-First Century Fox. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation, including the intercompany portion of transactions with equity method investees.
Investments	Investments in and advances to equity or joint ventures in which the Company has significant influence, but less than a controlling voting interest, are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in which the Company has no significant influence are designated as available-for-sale investments if readily determinable market values are available. If an investment’s fair value is not readily determinable, the Company accounts for its investment at cost.
Use of Estimates	The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts that are reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications and Adjustments	Certain fiscal 2014 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2015 presentation. Unless indicated otherwise, the information in the notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements relate to the Company’s continuing operations.
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance	Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
	Adopted
	In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-05, “Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity”, (“ASU 2013-05”). The objective of ASU 2013-05 is to resolve the diversity in practice regarding the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets or a business within a foreign entity. ASU 2013-05 is effective for the Company for interim reporting periods beginning July 1, 2014. The Company’s adoption of ASU 2013-05 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Receivables, Net	Receivables, net are presented net of an allowance for returns and doubtful accounts, which is an estimate of amounts that may not be collectible.
Concentration of Credit Risk	Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with several financial institutions. The Company has deposits held with banks that exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and, therefore, bear minimal credit risk.

	(c)	Represents contingent consideration related to the acquisitions of Eredivisie Media & Marketing and SportsTime Ohio in fiscal 2013.
	(d)	The Company accounts for redeemable noncontrolling interests in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, because their exercise is outside the control of the Company. The redeemable noncontrolling interests recorded at fair value are put arrangements held by the noncontrolling interests in certain of the Company’s majority-owned sports networks. The Company utilizes the market, income or cost approaches or a combination of these valuation techniques for its Level 3 fair value measures, using observable inputs such as market data obtained from independent sources. To the extent observable inputs are not available, the Company utilizes unobservable inputs based upon the assumptions market participants would use in valuing the asset (liability). As of December 31, 2014, one minority shareholder’s put right is currently exercisable and another minority shareholder’s put right will become exercisable in March 2015. The remaining redeemable noncontrolling interest is currently not exercisable and is not material.

[4]	The Company accounts for redeemable noncontrolling interests in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, because their exercise is outside the control of the Company. The redeemable noncontrolling interests recorded at fair value are put arrangements held by the noncontrolling interests in certain of the Company’s majority-owned sports networks. The Company utilizes the market, income or cost approaches or a combination of these valuation techniques for its Level 3 fair value measures, using observable inputs such as market data obtained from independent sources. To the extent observable inputs are not available, the Company utilizes unobservable inputs based upon the assumptions market participants would use in valuing the asset (liability). As of December 31, 2014, one minority shareholder’s put right is currently exercisable and another minority shareholder’s put right will become exercisable in March 2015. The remaining redeemable noncontrolling interest is currently not exercisable and is not material.
