The Fox Broadcasting Company (FOX) is an American commercial broadcasting television network than launched in 1986. It is owned by the Fox Entertainment division of the Fox Corporation and is one of the "Big Four" television networks. Below is a list of programs currently broadcast on the network.
While Fox began operating in 1986, [1] [2] it began its official primetime lineup the following year with the series Married... with Children and The Tracey Ullman Show . [3] [4] [5]
As of October 2012, Fox maintains 19.5 hours of network programming per week. The animated comedy series The Simpsons is one of Fox's most popular shows, [4] becoming the network's first series to rank among the top 30-highest-rated shows of a television season after its original debut, [6] and is the longest running sitcom, as well as animated series, of all time, contributing to the network's success. [3] According to Lanford Beard of Entertainment Weekly , "The Simpsons have transformed Fox from a small, ignored network into a global network that cannot be ignored." [3] The science fiction television series The X-Files also contributed to the network's success, which led to two spin-offs Millennium and The Lone Gunmen . [7] [8] Fox began airing in high-definition on September 12, 2004, with a series of National Football League (NFL) American football games. Fox had a programming block for children titled Fox Kids, which ran from September 8, 1990 to September 7, 2002. [9]
Unlike the "three larger networks", which aired primetime programming from 8 to 11 p.m. (EST) Mondays to Saturdays and 7 to 11 p.m. (EST) Sundays, Fox has traditionally avoided programming in the 10 p.m. (EST) time interval, leaving that hour to affiliates to program locally (primarily with local newscasts). [10]
On April 21, 2012, Fox celebrated its 25th-anniversary, with a two-hour television special featuring people related to Fox and its shows. It presented Fox's programs 24 , American Idol , Cops , Family Guy , Married... with Children, The Simpsons, and The X-Files, among other programs. [3] The network's adult cartoons are listed under the Animation Domination banner, which is a Sunday night programming block. [11] [12] Fox is a full member of the North American Broadcasters Association (NABA) and the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB). [13] [14]
