Foxtel is owned by Telstra Corporation (50%) and News Corporation (50%). It buys services from Sky plc. It is not owned by 21st Century Fox, the company that is hoping to purchase the remaining 61% of Sky plc that it does not own.

Sky's recent thrust has been to collaborate on content for Sky Arts across its territories so I guess potentially this channel could be distributed outside Europe. Both Sky and Fox are strong brands so I can't see either ending soon.
