Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (together, “Twenty-First Century Fox” or the “Company”) is a diversified global media and entertainment company, which currently manages and reports its businesses in the following segments: Cable Network Programming, Television, Filmed Entertainment and Other, Corporate and Eliminations. In addition, the Direct Broadcast Satellite Television (“DBS”) segment 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 AG (“Sky Deutschland”) (collectively the “DBS businesses”). On November 12, 2014, Twenty-First Century Fox completed the sale of Sky Italia and its 57% interest in Sky Deutschland to Sky plc (“Sky”). 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 current 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, 2016. 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, 2015 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 13, 2015 (the “2015 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 2015 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2016 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 April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360)” (“ASU 2014-08”). The amendments in ASU 2014-08 provide guidance for the recognition of discontinued operations, change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20, “Discontinued Operations” (“ASC 205-20”) and require additional disclosures about discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 is effective on a prospective basis for the Company for interim reporting periods beginning July 1, 2015. Certain disposals that occurred in the past were not reported as discontinued operations as they did not meet the criteria under the superseded accounting guidance. Such disposals would have met the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations in accordance with ASU 2014-08. Issued In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments (“ASU 2015-16”). The amendments in ASU 2015-16 require that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts, that are identified during the measurement period, in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. ASU 2015-16 is effective for the Company for the interim reporting periods beginning July 1, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2015-16 will have on its 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 and acquiring greater control of investments that complement its portfolio of businesses. Fiscal 2016 Acquisitions National Geographic Partners In September 2015, the Company, through 21st Century Fox America, Inc. (“21CFA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the National Geographic Society (“NGS”), agreed to form NGC Group Holdings, LLC (“National Geographic Partners”), to which the Company will contribute $625 million in cash and the Company and NGS will contribute their existing interests in NGC Network US, LLC, NGC Network International, LLC and NGC Network Latin America, LLC (collectively “NGC Networks”). The Company currently holds a controlling interest in NGC Networks, a consolidated subsidiary. NGS will also contribute its publishing, travel and certain other businesses to National Geographic Partners for approximately $625 million in cash. Upon completion of the proposed transaction, the Company will hold a 73% controlling interest in National Geographic Partners. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and is expected to close before December 31, 2015. MAA Television Network In February 2015, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the broadcast business of MAA Television Network Limited (“MAA TV”), an entity in India that broadcasts and operates Telugu language entertainment channels, for approximately $375 million in cash. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. The transaction is expected to close before December 31, 2015. Fiscal 2015 Acquisitions trueX media inc. In February 2015, the Company acquired trueX media inc. (“true[X]”), a video advertising company specializing in consumer engagement and on-demand marketing campaigns, for an estimated total purchase price of approximately $175 million in cash including deferred payments which are subject to the achievement of service and performance conditions. The excess purchase price of approximately $125 million has been preliminarily allocated, based on a provisional valuation of true[X], as follows: approximately $30 million to intangible assets and the balance of the excess 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 true[X] and the Company. 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 the intangible assets that could impact future amortization expense. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value | NOTE 6. 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: Fair value measurements As of September 30, 2015 Description Total Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments (Level 1) Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) (in millions) Assets Derivatives (a) $ 17 $ - $ 17 $ - Liabilities Derivatives (a) (29 ) - (29 ) - Contingent consideration (b) (117 ) - - (117 ) Redeemable noncontrolling interests (c) (616 ) - - (616 ) Total $ (745 ) $ - $ (12 ) $ (733 ) As of June 30, 2015 Description Total Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments (Level 1) Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) (in millions) Assets Investments (d) $ 18 $ 18 $ - $ - Derivatives (a) 4 - 4 - Liabilities Derivatives (a) (34 ) - (34 ) - Contingent consideration (b) (114 ) - - (114 ) Redeemable noncontrolling interests (c) (621 ) - - (621 ) Total $ (747 ) $ 18 $ (30 ) $ (735 ) (a) Represents derivatives associated with the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swap contracts. (b) Represents contingent consideration related to the acquisitions of Eredivisie Media & Marketing and SportsTime Ohio in fiscal 2013. (c) The Company accounts for redeemable noncontrolling interests in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480-10-S99-3A”), 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 September 30, 2015, one minority shareholder’s put right is currently exercisable and another minority shareholder’s put right will become exercisable in March 2016. The remaining redeemable noncontrolling interests are currently not exercisable. (d) Available-for-sale securities. Financial Instruments The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, such as cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables and cost method investments, approximates fair value. As of September 30, 2015 As of June 30, 2015 (in millions) Borrowings Fair value of borrowings $ 21,823 $ 21,998 Carrying value of borrowings $ 19,011 $ 19,039 Fair value is generally determined by reference to market values resulting from trading on a national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market (a Level 1 measurement). Foreign Currency Forward Contracts The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts primarily to hedge certain exposures to foreign currency exchange rate risks associated with revenues, the cost of producing or acquiring films and television programming as well as its investment in certain foreign operations and equity method investments. As of September 30, 2015 As of June 30, 2015 (in millions) Cash flow hedges Notional amount of foreign currency forward contracts $ 973 $ 903 Fair value of foreign currency forward contracts $ 7 $ (13 ) As of September 30, 2015 As of June 30, 2015 (in millions) Net investment hedges Notional amount of foreign currency forward contracts $ 198 $ 198 Fair value of foreign currency forward contracts $ (6 ) $ (13 ) Interest Rate Swap Contracts The Company uses interest rate swap contracts to hedge certain exposures to interest rate risks associated with certain borrowings. As of September 30, 2015 As of June 30, 2015 (in millions) Cash flow hedges Notional amount of interest rate swap contracts $ 717 $ 723 Fair value of interest rate swap contracts $ (13 ) $ (4 ) As of September 30, 2015 As of June 30, 2015 (in millions) Economic hedges Notional amount of interest rate swap contracts $ 250 $ 255 Fair value of interest rate swap contracts $ - $ - Unrealized gains on hedging activity, before tax, of $8 million and $75 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, are included in other comprehensive loss. 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 3 years. For interest rate swap 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 4 years. 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 September 30, 2015 or June 30, 2015 due to the wide variety of customers, markets and geographic areas to which the Company’s products and services are sold.

The Company intends to complete this stock repurchase program by August 2016.

Temporary Suspension of Voting Rights Affecting Non-U.S. Stockholders The Company owns broadcast station licensees in connection with its ownership and operation of U.S. television stations. Under U.S. law, no broadcast station licensee may be owned by a corporation if more than 25% of its stock is owned or voted by non-U.S. persons, their representatives, or by any other corporation organized under the laws of a foreign country. In order to maintain compliance with U.S. law, the suspension of voting rights of the Class B Common Stock held by non-U.S. stockholders is currently at 10%. This suspension will remain in place for as long as the Company deems it necessary to maintain compliance with applicable U.S. law, and may be adjusted by the Audit Committee as it deems appropriate. Voting Agreement with the Murdoch Family Interests On April 18, 2012, the Murdoch Family Trust and K. Rupert Murdoch (together the “Murdoch Family Interests”) entered into an agreement with the Company, whereby the Murdoch Family Interests agreed to limit their voting rights during the voting rights suspension period. 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 38.9% 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. |

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | NOTE 10. 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 course of operations. The total firm commitments and future debt payments as of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015 were approximately $86 billion and $75 billion, respectively. The increase from June 30, 2015 was primarily due to an expanded arrangement with one of the collegiate conferences for broadcast rights through 2032, a new rights agreement with a Major League Baseball team for broadcast rights through 2032 and other sports rights agreements. Contingent Guarantees The Company’s contingent guarantees as of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015 were $509 million and $1.3 billion, respectively. The decrease from June 30, 2015 was primarily due to the release of the Company’s obligations under a bank guarantee benefiting the Board of Control for Cricket in India (“BCCI”) in July 2015 (See Note 12 – Additional Financial Information) and the expiration of a bank guarantee covering the Company’s programming rights obligations as part of the agreement with the International Cricket Council. 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 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 ( as defined in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the 2015 Form 10-K under the heading “Principles of consolidation”), As of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015, the Company recognized approximately $60 million and $65 million, respectively, as its obligation under the Indemnity, which is currently payable to News Corp. The Company made payments of $7 million to News Corp during the three months ended September 30, 2015 which are included in Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents from discontinued operations in the Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. 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. 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 also a 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 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. 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. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | NOTE 11. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company is a diversified global media and entertainment company, which manages and reports its businesses in the following 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 Broadcasting Company (“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 sale of Sky Italia and its 57% interest in Sky Deutschland to Sky. · Other, Corporate and Eliminations, which principally consists of corporate overhead and eliminations and other businesses. Following the sale of the DBS businesses, the Company continues to report in five segments for comparative purposes. 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. For the three months ended September 30, 2015 2014 (in millions) Revenues: Cable Network Programming $ 3,464 $ 3,231 Television 1,049 1,048 Filmed Entertainment 1,785 2,476 Direct Broadcast Satellite Television - 1,449 Other, Corporate and Eliminations (221 ) (317 ) Total revenues $ 6,077 $ 7,887 Segment OIBDA: Cable Network Programming $ 1,306 $ 1,038 Television 196 174 Filmed Entertainment 149 458 Direct Broadcast Satellite Television - 207 Other, Corporate and Eliminations (116 ) (98 ) Total Segment OIBDA $ 1,535 $ 1,779 Amortization of cable distribution investments (20 ) (23 ) Depreciation and amortization (128 ) (276 ) Equity earnings of affiliates 35 379 Interest expense, net (295 ) (305 ) Interest income 9 14 Other, net (83 ) 35 Income from continuing operations before income tax expense 1,053 1,603 Income tax expense (313 ) (503 ) Income from continuing operations 740 1,100 Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax (3 ) (7 ) Net income 737 1,093 Less: Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests (62 ) (56 ) Net income attributable to Twenty-First Century Fox stockholders $ 675 $ 1,037 Intersegment revenues, generated by the Filmed Entertainment segment, of $170 million and $275 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, have been eliminated within the Other, Corporate and Eliminations segment.

As a result of the contract termination in June 2015, STAR no longer has the rights to broadcast future CLT20 cricket matches and has no additional payment obligations. |

(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 Accounti
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 3 Months Ended |
Sep. 30, 2015 | |
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 2015 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2016 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 April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360)” (“ASU 2014-08”). The amendments in ASU 2014-08 provide guidance for the recognition of discontinued operations, change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20, “Discontinued Operations” (“ASC 205-20”) and require additional disclosures about discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 is effective on a prospective basis for the Company for interim reporting periods beginning July 1, 2015. Certain disposals that occurred in the past were not reported as discontinued operations as they did not meet the criteria under the superseded accounting guidance. Such disposals would have met the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations in accordance with ASU 2014-08. Issued In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments (“ASU 2015-16”). The amendments in ASU 2015-16 require that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts, that are identified during the measurement period, in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. ASU 2015-16 is effective for the Company for the interim reporting periods beginning July 1, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2015-16 will have on its consolidated financial statements. |
Receivables, Net | Receivables 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 | 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 September 30, 2015 or June 30, 2015 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 September 30, 2015, the Company did not anticipate nonperformance by any of the counterparties. |

[4] | The Company accounts for redeemable noncontrolling interests in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480-10-S99-3A”), 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 September 30, 2015, one minority shareholder’s put right is currently exercisable and another minority shareholder’s put right will become exercisable in March 2016. The remaining redeemable noncontrolling interests are currently not exercisable. |
