I didn't vandalize anything...merely returned the article to it's original state...The way TBrandley had it violates WP:NEUTRAL as it gives extra attention to the Fox article and not giving equal attention to the other networks.

===Animated series (under the ''[[Animation Domination]]'' banner)===
Unlike the "[[Big Three television networks|three larger networks]]", which aired prime time programming from 8 to 11&nbsp;pm Mondays to Saturdays and 7 to 11&nbsp;pm Sundays, Fox has traditionally avoided programming the 10 pm hour, leaving that hour to affiliates to program locally. On April&nbsp;21, 2012, Fox celebrated its 25th&nbsp;anniversary, with a two-hour television special, featured numerous people related to Fox and its shows. It presented Fox's series' ''The Simpsons'', ''Married... with Children'', ''[[Family Guy]]'', ''[[Cops (TV series)|Cops]]'', ''[[24 (TV series)|24]]'', ''[[American Idol]]'', ''[[The X-Files]]'', among numerous other programs.<ref name=ew/> The networks' animated shows are listed under the ''[[Animation Domination]]'' Sunday night programming block aired on the channel.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fox.com/animationdomination/ |title=Animation Domination&nbsp;– Sundays on FOX |work=[[Fox Broadcasting Company]] |publisher=[[Fox Entertainment Group]] |accessdate=September 22, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |first=David |last=Hinckley |url=http://articles.nydailynews.com/2012-05-14/news/31703985_1_entertainment-chairman-peter-rice-fall-schedule-glee |title=Fox announces 2012–13 fall schedule |work=[[New York Daily News]] |publisher=Daily News, L.P |date=May 14, 2012 |accessdate=September 22, 2012}}</ref> It is a full member of the [[North American Broadcasters Association]] (NABA) and the [[National Association of Broadcasters]] (NAB).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nabanet.com/nabaweb/about/about.asp |title=About NABA |publisher=[[North American Broadcasters Association]] |accessdate=September 22, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nab.org/about/nabBoard.asp |title=NAB: About the National Association of Broadcasters |publisher=[[National Association of Broadcasters]] |accessdate=September 22, 2012}}</ref>

Revision as of 01:14, 26 September 2012

An old man with a bald head and a black suit, as well as glasses, is standing, smiling.
Rupert Murdoch co-founded the Fox Broadcasting Company, along with media executive Barry Diller.

The Fox Broadcasting Company, commonly referred as the Fox network or simply Fox, is an American commercial broadcasting television network owned by the Fox Entertainment Group, which is a division of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation group; Murdoch co-founded the Fox Broadcasting Company, along with media executive Barry Diller.[1] It launched on October 9, 1986,[2] and was the highest-rated broadcast network of those aged between 18 and 49 from 2004 to 2009 for its television programs. The network is named after its sister company 20th Century Fox, and indirectly for producer William Fox, who founded one of the movie studio's predecessors, Fox Film.

Though it was officially launched in October 1986,[2] Fox released its official prime time setup on April 5, 1987, with the series Married... with Children and The Tracey Ullman Show airing that night.[3] Fox currently runs 19.5 hours of programming per week.[3] The animated comedy series The Simpsons is one of Fox's most popular shows,[3] becoming the network's first series to rank among the top 30 highest-rated shows of a television season after its original debut,[4] and is the longest running sitcom as well as animated series of all time.[2] According to Lanford Beard of Entertainment Weekly, "The Simpsons turned Fox from the little network that could into the little network that could not be ignored."[2] 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 entitled Fox Kids, which ran from September 8, 1990 to September 7, 2002.

Unlike the "three larger networks", which aired prime time programming from 8 to 11 pm Mondays to Saturdays and 7 to 11 pm Sundays, Fox has traditionally avoided programming the 10 pm hour, leaving that hour to affiliates to program locally. On April 21, 2012, Fox celebrated its 25th anniversary, with a two-hour television special, featured numerous people related to Fox and its shows. It presented Fox's series' The Simpsons, Married... with Children, Family Guy, Cops, 24, American Idol, The X-Files, among numerous other programs.[2] The networks' animated shows are listed under the Animation Domination Sunday night programming block aired on the channel.[5][6] It is a full member of the North American Broadcasters Association (NABA) and the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB).[7][8]
