When Fox became the nation’s fourth major TV network the better part of four decades ago, it did things a little differently to succeed. Now, it’s about time viewers broke some traditions with how they watch those TV networks. Forget about your cable subscription and watch Fox on any of your devices, wherever you’re headed.
What’s Fox?
Fox is one of several television networks under the Fox Broadcasting Company umbrella, all owned by Fox Corporation, along with Fox News, Fox Sports 1, Fox Sports 2, and more. Fox primarily broadcasts entertainment and news programming and partners with many local affiliates around the U.S. to broadcast regional programming seven days a week.
Some of Fox’s most popular programs include sports like the NFL and college basketball, game shows like “Name that Tune” and “Family Feud,” and reruns (in syndication) from “The Big Bang Theory” and “Two and a Half Men.” Fox has been one of the most popular television networks since its inception in 1986.
