Fox Broadcasting Company, LLC, usually called Fox, is a big American TV network. It's a main part of Fox Corporation and is run by Fox Entertainment. Fox has its main offices in New York City and other offices in Los Angeles and Tempe, Arizona.
News Corporation started Fox on October 9, 1986. It was created to compete with the "Big Three" networks: American Broadcasting Company (ABC), Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS), and National Broadcasting Company (NBC). Fox became the most successful "fourth network" in the U.S. It was the top-rated free TV network for viewers aged 18–49 from 2004 to 2012 and again from 2020 to 2021. Fox was also the most-watched American TV network overall during the 2007–08 TV season.
Fox does not have its own national news shows. Instead, it uses the 24-hour Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network for news.
Many viewers in Canada can watch U.S.-based Fox channels. This is either over the air or through cable TV. Fox shows are also available in Mexico in areas near the U.S. border. In Central America, the Caribbean, and parts of South America, many TV providers carry U.S. Fox stations.

How Fox Started and Grew
Early TV Efforts
20th Century Fox started making TV shows way back in 1948. They produced shows for other networks. After the DuMont Television Network closed in 1956, 20th Century Fox continued making popular shows like Perry Mason and M*A*S*H for ABC, NBC, and CBS.
Building the Network in the 1980s
The Idea for a New Network
Barry Diller, who worked at Paramount Pictures, tried to create a fourth TV network. He wanted to make their own shows and put them on the air. Diller joined 20th Century Fox to achieve this goal.
In March 1985, Rupert Murdoch's company, News Corporation, bought a part of 20th Century Fox. In May 1985, News Corporation bought six TV stations in big U.S. cities from Metromedia. These stations became the first Fox-owned stations.
Some people think the Fox network is like a new version of the old DuMont network. This is because Metromedia was formed from DuMont's old stations. Also, DuMont's old headquarters in New York City became the Fox Television Center.
Fox Begins Broadcasting
In 1985, 20th Century Fox announced plans for a new TV network. It would compete with ABC, CBS, and NBC. The idea was to use Fox studios to make shows and the new stations to broadcast them. The purchase of the Metromedia stations was approved in March 1986. These first six stations became the Fox Television Stations group. Most of these original stations are still part of Fox today.
Fox officially started broadcasting on October 9, 1986. Its first show was a late-night talk show called The Late Show, hosted by Joan Rivers. The show started strong but its ratings dropped. Joan Rivers left the show in early 1987.
Before its main launch, the network changed its name from FBC to the shorter "Fox." This was to connect it to the well-known 20th Century Fox movie studio.
Fox had its "grand opening" on April 5, 1987. It started its Sunday night shows with Married... with Children and The Tracey Ullman Show. Fox slowly added more shows and nights of programming. By July 1987, it had Saturday night shows too.
Some early shows were not very successful. But Married... with Children became popular after a viewer complained about its content. This made more people curious to watch it. It became Fox's longest-running live-action comedy, lasting 11 seasons.
In 1989, Fox added a third night of programming on Mondays. This year also saw the debut of The Simpsons. This animated show started as short cartoons on The Tracey Ullman Show. The Simpsons became a huge hit and was the first Fox show to be among the top 30 most-watched programs. It is now the longest-running American sitcom and animated show.
Fox also launched the documentary series Cops and the crime show America's Most Wanted in 1989. These two shows became very popular and were on Fox for over two decades.
Becoming a Major Player in the 1990s
Fox succeeded where other attempts at a fourth network failed. It programmed just enough hours to avoid strict FCC rules that limited older networks. This allowed Fox to make money in ways forbidden to ABC, CBS, and NBC. Also, Rupert Murdoch was willing to spend money to get good shows and talent.
Fox also benefited from new technology. When DuMont was around, most TVs needed special equipment to watch UHF stations. By the time Fox launched, cable TV made UHF stations just as easy to watch as VHF stations.
Gaining Viewers and Sports Rights
Even though Fox was growing, it was not yet seen as a major competitor to the "Big Three." Fox aimed its shows at younger viewers (18-34 years old) and offered more edgy content. In its early years, most Fox stations filled their schedules with syndicated shows or movies when the network wasn't broadcasting. Few Fox stations had local news shows at first.
In 1990, Fox made a deal with TCI, a large cable company. This allowed Fox shows to be seen in smaller towns that didn't have a local Fox station. This cable-only network was called Foxnet.
As Fox added more nights of programming, The Simpsons moved to Thursday nights in 1990. It competed with NBC's popular The Cosby Show and did very well. This helped launch other Fox comedies like Martin.
The sketch comedy show In Living Color started in 1990. It helped launch the careers of stars like Jim Carrey and Jennifer Lopez. This show also gained attention when Fox aired a special live episode during Super Bowl XXVI in 1992. This was an alternative to the halftime show on CBS and marked the start of Fox's rivalry with the "Big Three."
The early and mid-1990s saw popular dramas for younger audiences like Beverly Hills, 90210 and Melrose Place. Fox also launched shows for a black audience, including Living Single and New York Undercover.
Winning NFL Rights and Station Changes
Fox became a serious competitor when it won the rights to broadcast National Football League (NFL) games. In December 1993, Fox signed a contract with the NFL to show games from the National Football Conference (NFC). CBS had been showing these games since 1956. Fox paid $1.58 billion for the four-year deal, much more than CBS offered. This deal also included the rights to Super Bowl XXXI in 1997. Fox also hired many popular sports announcers and production staff from CBS Sports.
After getting the NFL rights, News Corporation started making deals to buy more TV stations. In May 1994, Fox agreed to buy a part of New World Communications. New World then agreed to switch the affiliations of twelve of its stations to Fox. These stations had been affiliated with CBS, ABC, or NBC. This meant that many established local stations would now become Fox affiliates.
These deals caused a big shuffle of TV station affiliations across the U.S. Fox wanted to improve its NFL coverage by partnering with stations that were more established. These new Fox stations also started airing more local news.
With a bigger market share and NFL rights, Fox became the fourth major network. Fox Television Stations later bought New World Communications in 1996. This made New World's twelve Fox stations owned-and-operated by Fox.
Changing Programs
Fox finished expanding its prime time programming to all seven nights of the week by January 1993. This made it the fifth network to air shows every night. In September 1993, the supernatural drama The X-Files debuted and became a long-lasting success. It was Fox's first show to be among the top 20 most-watched network programs.
After many failed attempts at late-night shows, Fox found success with MADtv in October 1995. This sketch comedy show competed well with NBC's Saturday Night Live for over a decade.
In the 1997–98 TV season, Fox had three shows in the Nielsen Top 20: The X-Files, King of the Hill, and The Simpsons. Fox found success with animated comedies on Sunday nights, starting with King of the Hill in 1997. Family Guy and Futurama also debuted in 1999. Family Guy was canceled but later brought back in 2005 due to strong DVD sales and popular reruns.
Other notable shows in the late 1990s included the comedy-drama Ally McBeal and the period comedy That '70s Show. That '70s Show became Fox's second-longest-running live-action comedy, lasting eight seasons.
Throughout the 1990s, Fox also launched many cable channels. These included the general entertainment channel FX and Fox News Channel in 1996. Its sports operations also grew with the creation of Fox Sports Net in 1996.
Leading the Ratings in the 2000s
By 2000, many of Fox's popular 1990s shows had ended. Fox then focused on reality shows, some of which were controversial. Examples include Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire? and Joe Millionaire. Joe Millionaire was the first Fox show to reach the Nielsen Top 10.
After these reality shows, Fox added acclaimed dramas like 24, The O.C., House, and Bones. It also added comedies like The Bernie Mac Show and Malcolm in the Middle.
Fox started to surpass ABC and NBC in ratings. By 2005, Fox became the most-watched U.S. network for the 18–49 age group. This was largely thanks to the singing competition show American Idol. American Idol was incredibly popular, with up to 38 million viewers for its finales. It became the highest-rated U.S. TV show overall from the 2003–04 season.
American Idol is the most recent U.S. TV show to lead national prime time ratings and attract at least 30 million viewers for multiple seasons. House, which aired after American Idol, also became very popular and reached the Nielsen Top 10 in 2006.
In February 2005, Fox won its first "sweeps" victory in total viewership and age demographics. This was helped by its broadcast of Super Bowl XXXIX and the strength of shows like American Idol and 24.
By the end of the 2007–08 season, Fox outranked CBS to become the most-watched TV network in the U.S. This was due to the success of American Idol, House, and its NFL game coverage. Fox is the only non-Big Three network to ever top the overall Nielsen ratings.
In the late 2000s, Fox launched more hits. The game shows Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? and Don't Forget the Lyrics! ran for three seasons each. The mystery series Fringe debuted in 2008 and gained a loyal fan base. In 2009, Glee premiered and received positive reviews. The cast of Glee even performed for Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey.
2010s: Changes and New Hits
In the early 2010s, new comedies like Raising Hope and New Girl became successful for Fox. Glee's second season had its highest ratings in 2010–11. Fox's live broadcast of Super Bowl XLV in 2011 helped it become the first U.S. network to have an average single-night prime time audience of at least 100 million viewers.
American Idol lost its top spot in ratings in 2011–12, ending its eight-year domination. However, it remained in the Nielsen Top 10 for eleven years.
Fox's viewership declined in the 2012–13 season. American Idol and Glee saw big drops in ratings. Fox fell to third place in total viewership. In 2014, Fox changed how it ordered new shows. Instead of just pilot episodes, it started ordering shows directly to series.
Fox had renewed success with its February 2014 broadcast of Super Bowl XLVIII. This became the second most-watched TV broadcast in U.S. history. The shows that aired after it, New Girl and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, also did well.
The 2014–15 season saw the end of Glee and the debut of new hit dramas. These included Gotham (based on Batman) and Empire. Empire's ratings grew each week during its first season. It was the first American TV show to consistently increase its viewership for its first five weeks since 1992.
The 2015–16 season was a good one for Fox. It moved to third place in nationwide ratings. This was helped by shows like Grease: Live, Empire, and the return of The X-Files. Grease: Live was the first live American TV musical to be broadcast in front of a live audience in the 21st century.
By 2016, Empire and The X-Files were in the Nielsen Top 10. This was the first time Fox had two shows in the top rankings without American Idol. The same year, American Idol ended its original run on Fox after fifteen seasons.
In February 2017, Fox broadcast Super Bowl LI. It attracted 111.3 million viewers, making it one of the most-watched Super Bowl games ever.
2018–Present: New Focus and Ownership Changes
In 2018, The Walt Disney Company bought most of 21st Century Fox's assets for $71.3 billion. This included 20th Century Fox and FX Networks. However, the Fox Broadcasting Company, its TV stations, and the Fox Sports, Fox News, and Fox Business cable channels were not sold. They remained under a new company called Fox Corporation. Because Disney already owned ABC, it could not also own the Fox network. As a result, Fox became the only major U.S. broadcast network not connected to a film studio.
Fox started to focus more on sports and unscripted shows. It acquired the NFL's Thursday Night Football package and rights to the FIFA World Cup. In June 2018, WWE announced that SmackDown would move to Fox on Friday nights starting in October 2019.
Fox also increased its unscripted shows. It launched the celebrity music competition The Masked Singer and game shows like Mental Samurai. The Masked Singer premiered in 2019 with high ratings.
After the sale to Disney was completed, Fox Corporation officially began trading in March 2019. Fox announced many new scripted series for the upcoming season. It also established a new in-house studio, Fox Alternative Entertainment, for unscripted shows.
Thursday Night Football and The Masked Singer were among the highest-rated shows in 2018–19 and 2019–20. Fox finished the 2019–20 season as the highest-rated network among viewers aged 18–49. Fox repeated this win in the 2020–21 season.
In October 2022, Rob Wade became the new president and CEO of Fox Entertainment. That season, Fox lost Thursday Night Football to Amazon Prime Video.
In May 2023, Fox stopped airing its drama 9-1-1 after six seasons. Since it was produced by 20th Television (now owned by Disney), ABC picked up the series. Its spin-off, 9-1-1: Lone Star, remained on Fox for a fifth season. In September 2024, it was announced that 9-1-1: Lone Star would end after its fifth season. Fox also lost SmackDown to USA Network in September 2024. As a replacement, Fox started showing college football games on Friday nights.
What Fox Shows
Fox currently provides 17 hours of regular network programming each week. It offers fifteen hours of prime time shows from Monday to Saturday evenings and on Sundays. An hour of late-night programming is also offered on Saturdays. Fox also has a Sunday morning political discussion show called Fox News Sunday with Shannon Bream.
Sports programming is also a big part of Fox, usually on weekends. The Saturday prime time block and the Friday prime time block (starting in 2024) are mainly for sports.
Adult Animation
Fox is known for its lineup of original adult animated comedies. These usually air every Sunday night during prime time. This block of cartoons was called Animation Domination from 2005 to 2014. It was then rebranded as Sunday Funday.
The first shows in the Animation Domination lineup were American Dad!, Family Guy, The Simpsons, and King of the Hill. The Simpsons is the longest-running cartoon on Fox. Other animated shows that have aired include The Cleveland Show and Bob's Burgers.
Current animated shows on Fox include The Simpsons, Family Guy, Bob's Burgers, The Great North, Krapopolis, Grimsburg, and Universal Basic Guys. American Dad! is set to return to Fox in 2025.
Kids' Shows
Fox started airing children's programming on September 8, 1990. This was a block of shows called the Fox Children's Network, later known as Fox Kids. It aired on Saturday mornings and weekday afternoons. Fox Kids mostly showed animated series, but also some live-action shows.
Popular shows on Fox Kids included Bobby's World, X-Men, Spider-Man, Goosebumps, and Digimon. It also aired shows from Warner Bros. Animation like Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs. Fox Kids' most successful series was Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, which started in 1993.
In 2001, Fox sold its children's division to The Walt Disney Company. Fox then moved its kids' block to only Saturdays in January 2002. On September 14, 2002, a new block called FoxBox replaced Fox Kids. It was later renamed 4Kids TV. Shows in this block included Yu-Gi-Oh! and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Fox stopped airing the 4Kids TV block on December 27, 2008. This was due to problems between Fox and 4Kids Entertainment. Fox decided not to carry children's programming anymore. It gave two of the Saturday morning hours to its local stations for news or educational shows. The other two hours were used for a paid programming block called Weekend Marketplace.
On September 13, 2014, Xploration Station began airing on many Fox stations. This two-hour block features educational shows focused on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).
News Coverage
Unlike ABC, CBS, and NBC, Fox does not have its own national news programs. It focuses on its prime time shows, sports, and other network programming. However, Fox Corporation does own the Fox News Channel, a 24-hour cable news channel. Fox News Channel is separate from the Fox broadcast network.
The Fox network does air special news coverage. This includes the State of the Union address, presidential debates, and national election coverage. It also airs live "Fox News Special Report" broadcasts for breaking news. The political discussion show Fox News Sunday also airs on the Fox network.
Fox also has a news service for its local stations called Fox NewsEdge. It provides national and international news reports for local newscasts.
Fox tried national news shows in the past. The Reporters was a weekly newsmagazine from 1988 to 1990. Front Page launched in 1993. All these attempts were canceled due to low ratings.
Sports Programming
When Fox launched, its leaders believed that sports, especially professional football, would help it become a major network quickly. In 1987, Fox offered to buy the rights to Monday Night Football from the NFL. But the NFL chose to stay with ABC.
Six years later, in 1993, Fox made a $1.58 billion bid for the rights to the National Football Conference games. The NFL accepted Fox's bid on December 18, 1993. This took football telecasts away from CBS for the first time since 1955. This event made Fox equal to the "Big Three" networks. Fox's NFL rights also led to the affiliation deal with New World Communications, bringing many new viewers to the network.
With a sports division now in place, Fox acquired broadcast rights to the National Hockey League (1994–99), Major League Baseball (since 1996), and NASCAR auto racing (since 2001).
From 2007 to 2010, Fox aired the Bowl Championship Series college football games. In 2011, Fox and the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) made a deal to broadcast live UFC events. This deal ended in 2018, and UFC events moved to ESPN.
Fox's 2023 broadcast of Super Bowl LVII is the highest-rated U.S. TV program of all time. Its 2017 broadcast of Super Bowl LI holds the record for the largest overall audience in U.S. TV history.
On June 13, 2024, Fox announced a deal to be the only broadcaster for the IndyCar Series and its related series. All IndyCar Series races will be shown on the network.
Fox TV Stations
Fox has 18 stations that it owns and operates. It also has agreements with 226 other TV stations across the U.S. and its territories. Through its Fox Television Stations group, Fox owns the most stations among major American networks. Fox reaches 95.77% of all U.S. households.
New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Delaware are the only U.S. states without a local Fox affiliate. Viewers in these states watch Fox through stations from nearby major cities.
Fox largely stopped analog broadcasts on June 12, 2009, as part of the switch to digital TV. Fox still has some low-power affiliates in smaller markets. In some cases, these stations also broadcast on a digital subchannel of a larger co-owned station.
Nexstar Media Group is Fox's largest affiliate group, with 42 stations. Sinclair Broadcast Group is the second largest, with 26 Fox-affiliated stations.
Fox used to distribute its programming to markets without a local affiliate through Foxnet. This was a cable channel that acted as an alternate national feed for smaller U.S. markets. Foxnet launched in 1991 and closed in 2006.
How Fox Differs from Other Networks
Network Programming Style
Fox's programming schedule is different from ABC, CBS, and NBC. Fox airs its prime time shows for two hours on Monday through Saturday evenings and three hours on Sundays. The "Big Three" networks air three hours on Monday through Saturday and four hours on Sunday nights.
Fox traditionally avoids programming the 10:00 p.m. hour. It leaves this time slot to its local stations, many of which air local news during that hour. Fox's original reason for fewer prime time hours was to avoid certain FCC rules.
Fox also does not air any network daytime programming like soap operas or talk shows. Its local stations fill these hours with syndicated or locally produced shows. Fox also does not provide children's programming on Saturday mornings or late-night shows on Monday through Friday nights. Local stations produce their own shows or run syndicated programs during these times.
Fox is the only broadcast network that currently airs adult animated comedies. This started with The Simpsons in 1989. Other networks have tried to copy Fox's success with adult animated shows, but none have been as successful.
Local News Coverage
The amount of local news programming on Fox stations varies. Most Fox stations air a late-evening newscast after the network's prime time shows. This is usually at 10:00 p.m. Eastern/Pacific time. Many Fox stations also have a weekday morning newscast at 7:00 a.m. This offers a local alternative to the national morning news shows on the "Big Three" networks.
Fox has fewer stations with their own news departments compared to ABC, NBC, and CBS. As of October 2015, 70 of Fox's 236 stations have in-house news departments.
Many Fox stations that have news operations use a schedule similar to ABC, NBC, or CBS stations. This often includes midday or early-evening newscasts. The first Fox station to do this was WSVN in Miami when it joined the network in 1989. This format was later adopted by former major network stations that switched to Fox in the mid-1990s.
In many smaller markets, local Fox affiliates outsource their newscast production to an NBC, ABC, or CBS station. This happens when a station doesn't have enough money or space for its own news department.
Extra Services
On-Demand and Streaming
Fox offers several ways for viewers to watch its shows on demand. This includes a traditional video-on-demand (VOD) service called Fox on Demand. It is available on most cable, satellite, and streaming providers. Fox also streams most of its shows on Hulu and on Fox.com.
The most recent episodes of Fox shows are usually available on Fox on Demand the day after they first air. In March 2020, Fox started streaming the full schedule of its owned Fox Television Stations through Fox Now. The following month, Fox bought the streaming service Tubi. Tubi offers content from other studios and also adds episodes of Fox Entertainment shows a week after they air on TV.
Fox stopped using the Fox Now app in July 2023. Viewers can now stream Fox shows on other apps like Hulu, Fox Local, or Tubi.
Fox HD
Fox started broadcasting its shows in 720p high definition on September 12, 2004. This began with its NFL football games.
Since March 14, 2016, Fox displays its standard network logo on screen during all programming. Before that, local station logos were often shown instead. However, network or affiliate logos are not displayed during Fox Sports programming.
On some Fox shows, a hashtag appears above the station's logo. This helps viewers find or start discussions about the show on Twitter. Fox's coverage of the World Series started broadcasting in HD in 2002.
All programming provided by Fox is now broadcast in widescreen and high definition. It also uses Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound.
Branding and Logos
Station Names
In the early 1990s, Fox began having its stations use a branding style that combined the "Fox" name with the station's channel number. For example, WNYW in New York City is known as "Fox 5." This started a trend for other networks to use similar naming schemes.
Some Fox stations use a city or regional name instead of the channel number. For example, WFLD in Chicago was called "Fox Chicago" for many years. A few stations use their call letters or a more general name instead of "Fox."
Starting in 2006, Fox's owned-and-operated stations began to look more like the Fox News Channel. They used a standardized red, white, and blue logo. After News Corporation sold Myspace, some Fox stations stopped using "MyFox" websites. In 2017, Fox's local news music changed to a new package called "Beyond," which does not use Fox News Channel sounds.
Since 2017, Fox-owned stations with a sister MyNetworkTV station have started to brand the MyNetworkTV station as an extension of the Fox station. For example, "Fox (channel number) Plus."
Logos
When Fox launched in 1986, it used a logo with three squares for "FBC." On April 5, 1987, a more familiar logo was introduced. It was based on 20th Century Fox's famous design, with the capitalized "FOX" name and searchlights.
In September 1993, the logo was updated to a more "hip" look. The "FOX" wordmark changed to its current style, and the angle was removed. The "O" in the logo also changed, becoming a key part of the design. Starting with this logo, Fox began showing a small logo on screen during its shows.
A new logo was introduced for the 1995–96 TV season, removing the searchlights. A version of the 1993 design was brought back in 1996, with searchlights behind the "F" and "X."
The current version of the logo was introduced in 1999. It removed the searchlights completely and became just a wordmark. However, the searchlight theme is still used in the Fox News Channel logo.
For the 2019–20 season, Fox updated its branding elements. The logo mark was slightly thicker, and animations of the logo's shapes were used in advertising.
