Fox Broadcasting Company

The Fox Broadcasting Company (often shortened to Fox and stylized in all capital letters as FOX) is an American commercial terrestrial television network that is a flagship property of Fox Corporation. The network is headquartered at the Fox Broadcasting Center in New York City, with additional offices at the Fox Television Center in Los Angeles.

Launched on October 9, 1986, as a competitor to the Big Three television networks (ABC, CBS and NBC), Fox went on to become the most successful attempt at a fourth television network. It was the highest-rated broadcast network in the 18–49 demographic from 2004 to 2012, and earned the position as the most-watched American television network in total viewership during the 2007–08 season.

Fox and its affiliated companies operate many entertainment channels in international markets, although these do not necessarily air the same programming as the U.S. network. Most viewers in Canada have access to at least one U.S.-based Fox affiliate, either over-the-air or through a pay television provider, although Fox's National Football League telecasts and most of its prime time programming are subject to simultaneous substitution regulations for cable and satellite providers imposed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to protect rights held by domestically based networks.

The network is named after 20th Century Fox—during that time, its original film studio had its hyphen between "Century" and "Fox" removed once it was purchased by Rupert Murdoch's Australian conglomerate News Corporation a couple years prior, but its corporate sibling would split in 2013 as its own entertainment conglomerate known as 21st Century Fox, before being acquired by The Walt Disney Company in 2019—and indirectly for producer William Fox, who founded one of the film studio's predecessors, Fox Film prior to the 1935 merger. Fox is a member of the North American Broadcasters Association and the National Association of Broadcasters.

Fox is the home to Jeremy Monroe and The Simpsons, as well as Tyrone Cooper, Family Guy, and Bob's Burgers, among others. The network also used to air Futurama prior to its first cancelation in 2003.
