    Lachlan taking over for now, but Kara Swisher says that will be short lived. Life imitates Succession. There will be some media ecosystem change

    Unless the old man sends his share all to Lachlan. Wouldn't shock me.

    A group to look out for: sovereign wealth funds (especially the Saudis). I suspect that they might purchase Fox's assets if they go up for sale. An old style cable network catering to retirees and facing multiple defamation suits doesn't look like a great long-term bet, but the Saudis might be willing to do it for some chance at profit and the chance of positive PR.
