Paul Ryan, the former Speaker of The House and Representative from Wisconsin's 1st Congressional District, has been appointed to the board of the Fox corporation; the parent company of the Fox News network.

The Fox Corporation sold its “21st Century Fox” production division to Disney for an estimated $71.3 Billion last year. After the sale, the Fox Corporation restructured to focus on its core businesses including Fox TV stations, Fox News, and Fox Sports. Ryan will help oversee the newly restructured company. 

Ryan, originally from Janesville, served in the House of Representatives for a decade - 1999-2019 -  and was Speaker of The House for the last five years of his tenure. Ryan announced he would not seek re-election in April of 2018. At the time, Ryan said he wanted to spend more time with his family.
