Fox News and The History Channel

Does Fox News Network own The History Channel? Does anyone out there know? The reason I'm asking is that this morning while watching Fox 2 News, (Detroit area), One of the reporters in the studio was interviewing 2 of the members from the new UFO series on the History Channel.
I thought it kind of odd that they would be promoting this new series, seeing that it wasn't being shown on the Fox network. On top of that there was no hint of making a joke about the show. Anyone have feedback?

I'm pretty sure its owned by A&E Television Networks, but I have no clue if there is any affiliation between A&E and Fox. I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Different companies. Fox is owned by News Corporation. AETN is owned by the Walt Disney Company.

Here's a good resource to figure out all the Big Media connections:

The Big Ten

Fox is owned by

And they pretty much own everything else!

Disney owns the history channel

Whoever owns them, I have found that they produce much better 'alternate' programs than the other major contender, National Geographic. Has anyone noticed how NG is biased on EVERYTHING? They don't even produce evidence for whatever they're debunking, they just say 'no, it happened this way'. The history channel tends to be much more unbiased and their UFO files series is one of the best series on the subject out there, if not the best.

I don't want to derail, but who owns NG and what, if any, agenda is at work there?
