Fox doesn't have local channels outside the US, while Fox news usually makes it into the "international news" section of most satellite TV packages

I will give you 20th century fox, but I'm not sure that registers as being the same company.

You know, I even watched some shows on Fx but it never occured to me that it was Fox, looks like the rebrand was after I last had a tv subscription.

Not to mention that Fox News frequently is the subject of news itself.

E.g., this event got a fair amount of coverage the Netherlands:

But the general role and influence of Fox News in US politics and society is a frequent topic in journalism outside of the US as well of course.
