Did you read the quote, or just the headline?

21st Century Fox is an American multinational mass media corporation. It is one of two companies created from the 2013 split of News Corporation (as founded by Rupert Murdoch in 1979); 21st Century Fox retains the previous News Corporation's broadcasting and film assets and serves as its legal successor, while its publishing assets were spun off to form News Corp at the same time. The split was designed to ensure that both companies are operated under more "focused" management, which Murdoch claimed would "unlock" their true value.
News Corporation owned 39.1% of BSKYB which transferred to 21st Century Fox.

No, Fox sold the stakes to BSkyB.

In which Murdoch has well over what is normally called a "controlling stake". Which is why the reporter in your original link got in a tangle and gave me a headache smile.

I'm still not quite clear, (better things to do), what BSkyB is expected to be selling. The broadband side of Sky I think, just keeping Pay TV. But that doesn't make sense.
