I remember watching it here in Los Angeles when I was a kid on channel 11 and it's still on that number.

That's like saying 1930s Volkswagen was a car company, separate from Nazis.

A penny to Faux Entertainment, or Faux Sports is a donation to Faux News.

It's like saying Phillip-Morris is a farm, not a tobacco company.

It's become pretty fucking simple.

"Nothing will change. The fascism, racism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy...NONE OF IT...will change, unless and until we make fascism, racism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy unprofitable to the corporations, businesses and individuals that fund and enable it"

You are partly incorrect.

FOXA -
Murdoch Family @ 36.6%
Divisions
Fox Entertainment
Fox Television Stations
Fox News Media
Fox Sports Media Group

Yes, Fox Entertainment affiliate stations are separately owned. But big deal.

Quo bono?

There are 14 O&Os over which Fox has more or less complete control. There are far more affiliates.
Here's a list with owners shown: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Fox_television_affiliates_(table)
