Maybe my memory is faulty, as I could have sworn it was jointly owned.
Edit: Just checked, and it is jointly owned. There are three shareholders who own equal shares. I didnât know about the third shareholder.
Itâs owned by:
Foxtel Management Pty Ltd
Optus Vision Pty Ltd
UAP Australia Programming Pty Ltd, which is a News Corp owned company it appears.
The two directors are Foxtel CEO Patrick Delany and Lynette Ireland the Foxtel company secretary.

It seems like thatâs the plan:
I saw an ad saying âWatch the next Main Event on Foxtelâ. Can I access this via Kayo as well?
No, not at this stage. The Horn v Tszyu fight, via Main Event on Kayo is a one-off special event. We are hoping to provide full Main Event on Kayo services in the future, so please stay tuned.
