News Corp.'s Fox Interactive Media said on Wednesday it will develop and
manage Web sites of Fox television station affiliates.
The division of News Corp. that also controls popular Internet social
network MySpace struck the deal with the Fox affiliate Board of Governors,
a group that represents over 160 local Fox affiliate television stations
that News Corp. does not own.
These stations will use custom developed "MyFOX" sites, which are currently
used by News Corp.'s 24 owned and operated TV stations, the company said.
In February, Fox Interactive Media struck a deal to offer streaming video
of its shows such as 24 and Hell's Kitchen and online retail services to
its TV affiliate stations group.
