The Fox network will continue to carry scripted entertainment programming after the anticipated split of the 20th Century Fox studio from its Fox Broadcasting Co. sibling. That was the word from Fox Television Group’s Gary Newman and Dana Walden as they gamely fielded questions from reporters about the impact of Disney’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox assets on the operations of the TV studio and network.

Walden attempted to guide several confused reporters, assuring them the deal does not mean Fox shows are moving to ABC. She also offered confidence that New Fox would not be a network that turns its back on entertainment programming, whether she and Newman are there or not. (THR / Live Feed)
