Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Use of Estimates	The preparation of the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts that are reported in the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from those estimates. A significant decline in estimated advertising revenue or the expected popularity of the Company’s programming could lead to a downward revision in the fair value of, among other things, the Company’s reporting units, indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets and result in an impairment and a non-cash charge that is material to the Company’s reported net earnings. An impairment did not exist as of March 31, 2020. The Company will perform its annual impairment review during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. In addition, the recoverability of national sports contracts is based on the Company’s best estimates at March 31, 2020 of attributable revenues and costs; such estimates may change in the future and such changes may be significant. Should revenues decline materially from estimates applied at March 31, 2020, amortization of rights may be accelerated.
Principles of Consolidation and Combination	Intercompany transactions with 21CF or its affiliates and the Company are reflected in the historical Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for the period prior to the Distribution. All significant intracompany transactions and accounts within the Company’s consolidated businesses have been eliminated. Investments in and advances to entities or joint ventures in which the Company has significant influence, but less than a controlling financial interest, are accounted for using the equity method. Significant influence generally exists when the Company owns an interest between 20% and 50%. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 321 “Investments—Equity Securities” (“ASC 321”), equity securities in which the Company has no significant influence (generally less than a 20% ownership interest) with readily determinable fair values are accounted for at fair value based on quoted market prices. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are accounted for either at fair value or using the measurement alternative which is at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. All gains and losses on investments in equity securities are recognized in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Reclassifications and Adjustments	The Company’s fiscal year ends on June 30 of each year. Certain fiscal 2019 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2020 presentation.
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance and the CARES Act	Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance and the CARES Act Adopted In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“Topic 842”), as amended. Topic 842 requires recognition of lease liabilities and right-of-use (“ROU”) assets on the balance sheet and disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. On July 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842 on a modified retrospective basis and recorded operating lease liabilities and ROU assets of approximately $635 million and $585 million, respectively, at the date of adoption (See Note 7—Leases). The difference between the Company’s initial recognition of operating lease liabilities and ROU assets, at the date of adoption, was primarily a result of the reclassification of the deferred rent liability. The adoption of Topic 842 did not have a significant impact on the Statements of Operations. In accordance with the guidance in Topic 842, the Company elected not to reassess (i) whether any existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) lease classification for existing leases or (iii) capitalization of initial direct costs for existing leases. During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company early adopted ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”). The objective of ASU 2017-04 is to simplify how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment. Under previous GAAP, entities were required to test goodwill for impairment using a two-step approach. Under the amendments in ASU 2017-04, an entity performs its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 did not have an effect on the Company’s Financial Statements. CARES Act In March 2020, the U.S. government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The CARES Act includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferral of the employer portion of certain payroll taxes, net operating loss carryback periods, modifications to net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The Company does not expect the impact of these changes on the Company’s financial statements will be material.
Concentrations of Credit Risk	Concentrations of Credit Risk Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with several financial institutions. The Company has deposits held with banks that exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and, therefore, bear minimal credit risk. Generally, the Company does not require collateral to secure receivables. As of March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, the Company had no individual customers that accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s receivables.
