Except that Fox channels on the TV are not part of the Fox being sold.

No, in this case there's no TV part of it. But I'd still consider the film division as the "media" and the streaming services that can show the films as the "tubes", both of which Comcast would have ownership over. Comcast currently has a 30% ownership stake in Hulu, and would pick up another 30% from 21st Century Fox.

Fox Sports regional networks are part of the Disney deal, and aren't in the exclusion list here, either. Comcast has dabbled in regional sports before, this would be a big move against Disney to consolidate all the FSN regional stuff too.
