There's a difference between a Broadcasting Network and a Production Company. The Fox Broadcasting Company BROADCASTS programming. The programming does NOT need to be owned by the broadcaster.

For example, Modern Family is produced by 21 Century Fox but the program airs on ABC. ER and Friends were produced by Warner Brothers but aired on NBC.

Producing and owning a program has no bearing on where it's actually broadcast.

Now, in the case of The Simpsons, 21st Century Fox owns the program. Whether or not Disney keeps the deal in place for it to air on Fox has probably not been decided but seeing as this deal isn't going to fully close until 12-18 months, the program will continue to air on Fox for the foreseeable future.

Further to that, Original Airings of The Simpsons on Fox are a drop in the bucket compared to the 20+ years of syndication rights.

You didn't have to be a dick about it.

I know stations run shows they don't produce.

But I was just pointing out the Cost to run those shows from Disney will most likely go up considering outside sourced shows usually have to have good ratings or get shit canned since it's more expensive.
