Key figures

  • 20th Century Fox × 2010 is $231,100 in itemized individual contributions.
  • The cell includes 116 contributions from 39 donors.
  • 2010 is about 2.7% of the grouping’s $8,709,671 all-cycle total.
  • The label is filer-entered form text (20TH CENTURY FOX), not a PAC disbursement and not a NAICS total.
  • FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.

Headline cell $231,100

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — 20th Century Fox (20TH CENTURY FOX) and 2010 — sum to $231,100. 116 itemized contributions and 39 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.

Neither the 20th Century Fox hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. 20TH CENTURY FOX is the stored employer string, including the 20TH token. FOX, FOX NEWS, TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX, 21ST CENTURY FOX, and NEWS CORP are other keys. Thirty-nine unique donors produced 116 lines against a large all-cycle roll. The page is not a studio PAC disbursement table. LobbyVault does not merge neighboring spellings into $231,100. This URL exists because the two dimensions meet.

97.3% of 20th Century Fox dollars sit outside 2010

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $8,709,671 ($8.7 million). The 2010 slice of $231,100 is about 2.7% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 97.3% ($8,478,571). Treating 2010 as the 20th Century Fox FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $8,709,671 as the denominator for the 2.7% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2010 from being folded silently into $8,709,671.

Questions

How much itemized money sits at 20TH CENTURY FOX in 2010?
FEC.gov aggregates show $231,100 in itemized individual contributions for the 20th Century Fox grouping in the 2010 cycle, across 116 contributions and 39 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $8,709,671 all-cycle figure. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
How much of the $8.7 million 20th Century Fox book is 2010?
The grouping’s all-cycle total is $8,709,671. The 2010 cell of $231,100 is about 2.7% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 97.3% ($8,478,571) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the 20th Century Fox hub holds other cycles; the 2010 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
Are these 20th Century Fox PAC transfers in 2010?
No. $231,100 is itemized individual contributions whose employer or occupation field grouped to 20th Century Fox (20TH CENTURY FOX) in the 2010 cycle. It is not committee disbursements, not independent expenditures, and not a verified employee census. 116 contributions came from 39 donors. Do not invent those names from the grouping label.
Which hub drops the 2010 filter?
Open 20th Century Fox 2010 for the cycle overlay, 20th Century Fox for the grouping hub, and the 2010 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov controls.
