Fox News was started in 1996 by Rupert Murdoch in response to the other cable news channels which he believed to all have liberal biases. While Fox News claims to be "Fair & Balanced"<ref>Fair & Balanced[http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,27906,00.html]</ref>, a claim which it backs up by having ostensibly bipartisan shows like [[Hannity and Colmes]], it is widely understood to be sympathetic to conservative views.  Despite this, Fox News characterizes itself as reporting the news in an unbiased manner and then allowing the viewer to decide. <ref>We Report.  You Decide.[http://img83.imageshack.us/my.php?image=foxiu1.jpg]</ref>.

The '''Fox News Channel''' (FNC) is a [[United States]]-based [[cable television|cable]] and [[satellite television|satellite]] [[news]] channel.  It is owned by the [[Fox Entertainment Group]], and is a [[subsidiary]] of [[Rupert Murdoch]]'s [[News Corporation]].  As of January 2005, it is available to 85 million households in the U.S. and further to viewers [[Fox News Channel#International transmission|internationally]], broadcasting primarily out of its [[New York City]] studios.

Fox News has dominated the ratings of other cable news shows.{{fact}} Possibly because they report in a way that is more moderate then most news channels and because they do not attack George W. Bush or the Iraq War{{fact}}.Fox News prides itself on reporting on "good news" from Iraq, such as new schools being built and new roads being built and for reporting the suicide bombings in context of the broader war on terrorism and the religion they represent. Fox News was the first and only US cable news company to use the term "homicide bombing" to describe attacks by Arabs and Palestinians on Israelis.

[[Rupert Murdoch]] established Fox News to fill what he saw as a niche in the market for news that, according to Murdoch, was "fair and balanced".  In the opinion of Ken Auletta of ''[[The New Yorker]]'', it was to counter a news media that Murdoch believed was predominantly [[Liberalism in the United States|liberal]]. A 2004 survey of journalists by the [[Project for Excellence in Journalism]] found that Fox was "the single news outlet that strikes most journalists as taking a particular ideological stance",<ref>Project for Excellence in Journalism, [http://www.stateofthenewsmedia.org/2006/index.asp State of the News Media 2006: An Annual Report on American Journalism].</ref> with 56% of national journalists citing Fox News as being especially conservative in its coverage of news.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.newyorker.com/online/content/articles/030526on_onlineonly01 | title = "Broadcast News" | publisher = [[The New Yorker]] | accessdate = November 29 | accessyear = 2005 }}</ref>  Further research has shown that there is a correlation between the presence of the Fox News Channel in cable markets and increases in Republican votes in those markets.<ref>{{cite paper

News Corp had gained significant experience of rolling news when its [[BSkyB]] subsidiary started Europe's first 24 hour news channel, [[Sky News]], in the [[United Kingdom]] back in 1989.
 +
 
 +
In February 1996, after [[Roger Ailes]] left [[America's Talking]] (now [[MSNBC]]), Murdoch called Ailes to start the ''Fox News Channel''.  A group of Ailes loyalists who followed him throughout the [[NBC]] empire joined him at Fox.  From there, the [[CNBC]] expatriates, who joined a team already in place at Fox News, created the programming concept and proceeded to select space in New York.  Ailes  worked individuals through five months of grueling 14-hour workdays and several weeks of rehearsal shows before launch, on [[October 6]], [[1996]].
 +
 
 +
At launch, only ten million households were able to watch Fox News, with none in the major media markets of [[New York City]] and [[Los Angeles]].  According to published reports, many media reviewers had to watch the first day's programming at Fox News studios because it was not readily available.  The rolling news coverage during the day consisted of 20-minute single topic shows like ''Fox on Crime'' or ''Fox on Politics'' surrounded by news [[headlines]].  Interviews had various interesting facts at the bottom of the screen about the topic or the guest.  The flagship newscast at the time was called ''The Schneider Report'', with Mike Schneider giving a fast paced delivery of the news. During the evening, Fox had opinion shows:  ''[[The O'Reilly Factor]]'' (then called ''The O'Reilly Report''), ''The Crier Report'' hosted by [[Catherine Crier]], and ''[[Hannity & Colmes]]''.  From the beginning, FNC has also had a number of different slogans it included in daily broadcasts including: "America's Newsroom," "The Most Powerful Name in News," "Fox Means Business," "[[Fair and Balanced]]," "Fox is Where The News Is," "We Report, You Decide," and most recently, "We Put the World in [[Context]]."
 +
 
 +
[[image:foxnewsalert.png|left|frame|''Fox News'' Alert title card from 2006.]]From the beginning, Fox News has had a heavy emphasis on the visual presentation of news.  Graphics were designed to be colorful and attention grabbing, and to allow people to get the main points of what was being said even if they couldn't hear the host, through the use of on-screen text summarizing the position of the interviewer or speaker, and "bullet points" when a host was giving commentary.
 +
 
 +
Fox News also created the "Fox News Alert," which interrupted regular programming when a [[breaking news]] story occurred.  Each News Alert was designed to be attention-catching with a swooshing graphic filling the screen and a piercing chime instead of the regular news music.  At the beginning of FNC, the Fox News Alert was used fairly rarely, giving the chime more cachet, but currently it is used regularly to announce scheduled events or repeat existing news instead of only breaking news stories, with Fox News Alerts sometimes several times each hour instead of just a few times a day. In fact, ''[[Your World with Neil Cavuto]]'' begins almost all of its broadcasts with a Fox News Alert, usually on the stock market changes of the day.
 +
 
 +
To accelerate its adoption by cable companies, Fox News paid systems up to $11 per subscriber to distribute the network.  This contrasted with the normal practice, in which cable operators paid stations carriage fees for the programming of channels.  When Time Warner bought out [[Ted Turner]]'s [[Turner Broadcasting]], a federal [[antitrust]] [[consent decree]] required Time Warner to carry a second all-news channel in addition to Time Warner's own [[CNN]].  Time Warner selected MSNBC as the secondary news network, instead of Fox News.  Fox News claimed that this violated an agreement to carry Fox News, and Ailes used his connections to persuade Mayor Giuliani to carry Fox News and [[Bloomberg Television]] on two underutilized city-owned cable channels, which he did.
 +
 
 +
New York City also threatened to revoke Time Warner's cable [[exclusive right|franchise]] for not carrying Fox News.
 +
 
 +
[[Image:examplegraphic.png|thumb|260px|right|The current standard graphics setup of Fox News Channel]]
 +
A lawsuit was filed by Time Warner against the City of New York claiming undue interference and for inappropriate use of the city's educational channels for commercial programming.  News Corporation countered with an antitrust lawsuit against Time Warner for unfairly protecting CNN. This led to an acrimonious battle between Murdoch and Turner, with Turner publicly comparing Murdoch to [[Adolf Hitler]] while Murdoch's ''[[New York Post]]'' ran an editorial questioning Turner's sanity.  Giuliani's motives were also questioned, as his then-wife was a producer at Murdoch-owned [[WNYW-TV]].  In the end, Time Warner and News Corporation signed a [[settlement (law)|settlement]] agreement to permit Fox News to be carried on New York City cable system beginning in October 1997, and to all of Time Warner's cable systems by 2001, though Time Warner still does not carry Fox News in all areas.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.twcnyc.com/downloads/chlineupMV.pdf | title = "Time-Warner Cable channel list in Mt. Vernon, NY" | publisher = [[Time Warner]] | accessmonthday = March| accessyear = 2006 }}</ref>  In return, Time Warner was given some rights to News Corporation's [[satellite]]s in Asia and Europe to distribute Time Warner programming, would receive the normal compensation per subscriber paid to cable operators, and News Corporation would not object to [[Atlanta Braves]] baseball games being carried on [[TBS (TV network)|TBS]] (which normally would not happen because of the Fox television network's contract with [[Major League Baseball]]).
 +
 
 +
==Management==
 +
The [[CEO]], [[Chairman of the Board|Chairman]], and [[President]] of Fox News is [[Roger Ailes]].  After he began his career in broadcasting, Ailes started [[Ailes Communications, Inc]] and was successful as a political strategist for Presidents [[Richard Nixon|Nixon]] and [[Ronald Reagan|Reagan]] and with producing campaign TV commercials for [[United States Republican Party|Republican]] political candidates.  His work for former President Richard M. Nixon was chronicled in the book ''[[The Selling of the President: 1968]]'' by [[Joe McGinniss]]. Ailes withdrew from consulting and returned to broadcasting in 1992, including [[Rush Limbaugh]]'s [[television program]] during 1992-1996.  He ran the [[CNBC]] channel and [[America's Talking]], the forerunner of MSNBC for NBC. More recently, Ailes was named ''Broadcaster of the Year'' by [[Broadcast and Cable Magazine]] in 2003.
 +
 
 +
==Fox News Channel programming==
 +
Fox News presents a wide variety of programming, with up to 15 hours of live programming per day.  Most of the programs are broadcast from Fox News headquarters in New York City with its street-side studios on Sixth Avenue in the west extension of [[Rockefeller Center]].  Audio simulcasts of the channel are aired on [[XM Satellite Radio]] and [[Sirius Satellite Radio]].

Fox News Channel acts as the de facto news division of the [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] broadcast network.  ''[[Fox News Sunday|Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace]]'' currently airs on many Fox affiliates and is similar in format to other Sunday morning political discussion programs.  FNC provides coverage of major breaking news and certain live events (such as the [[State of the Union]]) for the network.  It also manages Fox News Edge, a distribution service of footage and reports for local Fox affiliates' news programs.
 +
 
 +
Fox News also produced several [[newsmagazine]] shows for its Fox affiliates including ''Fox Files'' and ''The Pulse'', although both were cancelled after short runs due to poor ratings.
 +
 
 +
Fox News chairman Roger Ailes is now also chairman of the Fox Television Stations division, and has been pushing for the network's O&Os to have a more uniform image and presentation in their newscasts. Ailes has denied any plans to create a national newscast for the Fox Network.<ref name="DetroitNews1">{{cite news |url=http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060727/ENTERTAINMENT05/607270329/1007/LIVING |title=Evening news doesn't pay, says Fox chief |work=The Detroit News |first=Mekeisha Madden |last=Toby |date=[[2006-07-27]] |accessdate=2006-11-11}}</ref>

The originally announced plans for Fox's new sister network, [[MyNetworkTV]] (which is also under [[Roger Ailes]]'s control), included a Fox News-produced program, ''[[On Scene]]'', which would have focused on crime-related stories.  However, the network has subsequently decided to not air any non-[[telenovela]] programming.<ref>[http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA6355180.html]</ref>

In 2003, Fox News began syndicating one minute radio updates to radio stations.  On [[June 1]], [[2005]], ''Fox News Radio'' expanded to a full service news operation, employing sixty people and providing five minute newscasts at the top of the hour and a one minute newscast at the bottom of the hour.  Fox News Radio is hosted by both FNC television personalities and others working solely for radio.  At its launch, sixty stations participated in the network, with more joining under a deal struck between Fox and [[Clear Channel Communications]] converting many Clear Channel stations to carry Fox News Radio newscasts and allow Fox News Radio to use news content produced by Clear Channel and distribute it nationally.
 +
 
 +
Fox also produces [[Fox News Talk]] for both satellite radio services, with talk radio programs syndicated by and featuring Fox News personalities.
 +
 
 +
===Fox News Channel personalities on radio===
 +
[[Fox News Radio]] also syndicates radio programs hosted by its TV personalities (All times [[North American Eastern Time Zone|Eastern]]).
 +
*''[[Brian and the Judge]]'' with Judge [[Andrew Napolitano]] and [[Brian Kilmeade]]: 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.
 +
*''The [[John Gibson (media host)|John Gibson]] Show'': 6:00–9:00 p.m.
 +
*''The [[Alan Colmes]] Show'': 10:00 p.m.–1:00 a.m.
 +
 
 +
Two other radio programs hosted by Fox News Channel personalities are distributed by other companies.  ''The Radio Factor'' hosted by [[Bill O'Reilly (commentator)|Bill O'Reilly]] is syndicated separately by CBS-owned [[Westwood One]] (the show began in 2002); however, satellite rights are held by [[Fox News Talk]].  The talk radio program hosted by FNC's [[Sean Hannity]] is syndicated by [[ABC Radio]] (which began in 2001) -- both were ''grandfathered'', as their shows began before Fox News Radio{{Fact|date=February 2007}}.
 +
 
 +
Aside from Hannity, the Fox News Channel radio hosts also appear on the [[Fox News Talk]] satellite radio channel, along with the satellite-only program ''Fox Across America'' hosted by [[Spencer Hughes]]. Hannity's program, ''The Sean Hannity Show'', appears on the [[ABC News & Talk]] satellite channel.

==Ratings==

Fox News currently leads the cable news market in the United States, earning higher points ratings than its chief competitors CNN and MSNBC combined by average viewership.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.ajr.org/Article.asp?id=4236 | title = The Secrets of Fox's Success | publisher = American Journalism Review | accessdate = February 06 | accessyear = 2007 | date = 01-01-2007 | author = Deborah Potter}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.ajr.org/Article.asp?id=410 | title = Cable Clash | publisher = American Journalism Review | accessdate = February 06 | accessyear = 2007 | date = 01-06-2000 | author = Kelly Heyboer }}</ref><ref>http://www.stateofthenewsmedia.org/2006/narrative_cabletv_audience.asp?cat=3&media=6</ref> While more people are actively watching Fox News Channel at any given time, CNN still remains the leader in unique viewers."<ref>http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=2005</ref><ref>http://www.stateofthenewsmedia.org/2006/narrative_cabletv_audience.asp?cat=3&media=6</ref>
 +
 
 +
The [[BBC]] reported that Fox News saw its profits double during the [[2003 invasion of Iraq|Iraq conflict]]. By some reports, at the height of the conflict they enjoyed as much as a 300% increase in viewership, averaging 3.3 million viewers daily.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.twcnyc.com/downloads/chlineupMV.pdf | title = "War coverage lifts News Corp" | publisher = [[The British Broadcasting Corporation]] | accessdate = November 29 | accessyear = 2005 }}</ref><!--This citation is not working. Please find a replacement or remove. -->.
 +
 
 +
In 2004, the gain in ratings became more apparent. In September, Fox News Channel's ratings for its broadcast of the [[2004 Republican National Convention|Republican National Convention]] beat those of all three broadcast networks.  During President Bush's address, Fox News notched 7.3 million viewers nationally, while NBC, CBS, and ABC scored ratings of 5.9, 5.0, and 5.1, respectively.
 +
 
 +
However, starting in late 2005, Fox began to see a slight decline in the ratings.  One of the most notable decline in ratings came in the second quarter of 2006, when compared to the previous quarter, Fox News had a loss in viewership for every single primetime program but retained their lead in the market. One of the most noteworthy losses of viewership was that of Special Report with Brit Hume. The show's total viewership was down 19% compared to the previous quarter. However, several weeks later, in the wake of the [[North Korean missile test, 2006|North Korean Missile Crisis]] and the [[2006 Israel-Lebanon crisis]], Fox saw a surge in viewership and managed to easily remain the #1 rated cable news channel.<ref>[http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/ratings/fncs_2554_prime_downward_spiral_20939.asp FNC's 25-54 Prime "Downward Spiral"], TV Newser</ref><ref>[http://www.stateofthemedia.org/2005/narrative_cabletv_contentanalysis.asp?cat=2&media=5 Cable TV : Content Analysis], The State of the News Media 2005</ref>  Fox still held eight of the ten most-watched nightly cable news shows, with ''The O'Reilly Factor'' and ''Hannity & Colmes'' coming in first and second places, respectively. .<ref>[http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/original/ranker_april05.pdf April 2005 Competitive Program Ranker (M-F 6a-11p programs)], TV Newser</ref>
 +
 
 +
In August 2006 figures were released showing that in the period August 2005 - August 2006, Fox news lost 28% of its prime-time viewers and 7% of its total day viewers.  This loss in viewers occurred during a time where rival networks [[CNN]] and [[MSNBC]] gained 35% and 26% respectively in their total day viewers.<ref> http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/ratings/aug_s_total_viewers_vs_aug_2005_42895.asp</ref>
 +
 
 +
==Logos==
 +
Unlike other news networks which generally have a standardized logo, Fox News uses a variety of logos in station identification and promotional material. The two most common variations, which are also used as the network's logo in the lower thirds, are seen below.
 +

==Controversies==
 +
{{Main|Fox News Channel controversies}}
 +
 
 +
Fox News has been the target of accusations that it promotes a particular point of view at the expense of [[Objectivity (philosophy)|neutrality]].<ref>Timothy Noah, [http://www.slate.com/id/2119864/ Fox News admits bias!], ''[[Slate (magazine)|Slate]]'', 31 May 2005, accessed 26 September 2006</ref>  These criticisms most commonly allege a conservative bias, and cite various polls which suggest a bias within Fox News.  According to the results of a 2006 study by The Project for Excellence in Journalism, the network is seen by some critics and observers as advocating [[American conservatism|conservative]] political positions.<ref>Project for Excellence in Journalism, [http://www.stateofthenewsmedia.org/2006/index.asp State of the News Media 2006: An Annual Report on American Journalism].</ref><ref>Project for Excellence in Journalism, [http://www.stateofthenewsmedia.org/2006/journalist_survey_prc.asp Press Going Too Easy on Bush].</ref> Murdoch and other personalities have denied allegations of bias vehemently.<ref>[http://www.ft.com/cms/s/5b77af92-548c-11db-901f-0000779e2340.html]</ref> A prominent critic of Fox is the [[Democratic National Committee]], which has labeled Fox News a "rightwing outlet".<ref>Byron York, [http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=ZjcxNTg4MDVlMzMwOGFjYjMyYWZkYjY1YTI0Yjc3Nzk= Bill Clinton, fighting the enemy - right-wing bullies], ''[[National Review Online]]'', 24 September 2006, accessed 27 September 2006</ref>
 +
 
 +
CNN's Larry King said in a Jan. 17, 2007 interview with the Chicago Sun-Times, "They're a Republican brand. They're an extension of the Republican Party with some exceptions, [like] Greta van Susteren. But I don't begrudge them that. [Fox CEO] Roger Ailes is an old friend. They've been nice to me. They've said some very nice things about me. Not [Bill] O'Reilly, but I don't watch him."
 +
 
 +
These issues and others are addressed in the 2004 documentary, [[Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism]], by the self-described progressive political organization [[MoveOn|MoveOn.org]]. This documentary looks into the allegations of bias in Fox News reporting.  In 2007, MSNBC [[Countdown with Keith Olbermann|Countdown]] anchor [[Keith Olbermann]] mocked them by first renaming the channel "Fox Nothing Channel", saying that they have nothing, then renamed it the next day as "Fox Noise Channel", in which he has used ever since.
 +
 
 +
=== Discredited military & counterterrorism editor===
 +
 
 +
On April 29, 2002, [[The New York Times]] ran an article entitled "At Fox News, the Colonel Who Wasn't" by [[Jim Rutenberg]],<ref>http://sec-global.com/services/ctp/vsg/news/020429.html</ref> revealing that [[Joseph A. Cafasso]], whom Fox had employed for four months as a Military and Counterterrorism Editor, had bogus military credentials.
 +
 
 +
Cafasso makes a 15 second appearance making pronouncements about the religious biases behind the Fox News reporting in [[Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism]].
 +
 
 +
===Internal memos=== 
 +
As with many news sources, Fox News executives exert a degree of editorial control over the content of their daily reporting.  In the case of Fox News, some of this control comes in the form of daily memos issued by Fox News' Vice President of News, [[John Moody (journalist)|John Moody]].  Critics of Fox News cite these memos as evidence of a conservative bias in Fox News reporting, and claim that information in these memos duplicates Republican talking points.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mediamatters.org/items/200407140002|title=33 internal FOX editorial memos reviewed by MMFA reveal FOX News Channel's inner workings|accessdate=2007-01-25}}</ref>
 +
 
 +
===Trademark disputes===
 +
[[Image:Fairbalanced.png|thumb|Fox News' controversial "[[Fair and Balanced]]" trademark]]
 +
 
 +
In 2003, [[Penguin Books]] published ''Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right'', by comedian and Democratic writer [[Al Franken]].  The book criticized a number of persons and institutions, but singled out Fox on allegations of conservative bias. Before the book was released, Fox brought a [[lawsuit]], alleging that the book's subtitle violated Fox's [[trademark]] in the promotional phrase "[[Fair and Balanced]]."  On that basis, Fox moved for a preliminary [[injunction]] to block the publication of the book.  The [[United States District Court]] Judge hearing the case denied the motion, causing Fox to withdraw the suit.
 +
 
 +
In December 2003, the [[Independent Media Institute]] brought a petition before the [[United States Patent and Trademark Office]] seeking the cancellation of Fox's trademark in the phrase "Fair & Balanced" for being notoriously misdescriptive.<ref>[http://ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/v?qt=adv&pno=92042790&qs=&propno=&propnameop=&propname=&pop=&pn=&pop2=&pn2=&cop=&cn= Independent Media Institute vs. Fox News Channel on Cancellation of "Fair & Balanced" trademark phrase], Trademark Trial and Appeal Board Inquiry System</ref>  After losing early motions, the IMI withdrew its petition and the USPTO dismissed the case.<ref>[http://ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/v?pno=92042790&pty=CAN&eno=1 Official Documentation of Petitioned Cancellation of "Fair & Balanced" trademark phrase], Trademark Trial and Appeal Board Inquiry System</ref>
 +
 
 +
==International transmission==
 +
The channel is now available internationally, though its world programming is the same as its American programming, unlike [[CNN International]], which airs regional programming that is largely independent of its U.S. broadcasts.  In the United States, the channel is offered by many cable companies in their basic cable packages. Fox News is also carried by [[Sky Angel]], a [[Christian]]-run group of TV and radio networks that offers mostly [[religious broadcasting]].
 +
 
 +
===FOX News Extra ===
 +
[[Image:FoxNewsExtra.jpg|thumb|A Fox News Extra title card]]
 +
Up until 2006, Fox News simply replaced US Advertisements with International weather forecasts. In 2006, they replaced the weather segments with 'Fox News Extra' segments, various narrated reports from FOX Reports on a variety of topics. These reports are generally on lighter issues not related to current news events, and the segments are repeated. The segments are introduced by various Fox News anchors (mostly headline segment anchors) who in addition to introducing the segment, thank viewers from a chosen international location for watching Fox News.
 +
 
 +
The Fox News feed in the United Kingdom does not feature Fox News Extra, and instead features break fillers from  sister channel [[Sky News]]'s International Variant.
 +
 
 +
===Australia===
 +
In [[Australia]] Fox News Channel is broadcast on the three major Pay-TV providers, [[Austar]], [[Optus Television]] and [[Foxtel]].  Foxtel is 25% owned by News Corporation, and the other two are just rebroadcasters of Foxtel content.  The Australian syndication previously featured some local programming, including a [[John Laws]] current affairs programme in place of "Fox & Friends". Local advertisements are aired in place of every second 'Fox News Extra' segment.
 +
 
 +
===Brazil===
 +
Since 2002 Fox News has been broadcast to [[Brazil]], but the commercials are replaced with weather forecasts and their own Brazilian ads.  It is broadcast by [[SKY Latin America|Sky]] (satellite operator, a joint-venture between [[News Corporation]] and [[Globosat]]) and in the digital packages of [[Net Serviços de Comunicação S/A|NET]].
 +
 
 +
===Canada===
 +
On [[December 14]], [[2000]], the [[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission]] (CRTC) approved '''Fox News Canada''' on behalf of the [[Global Television Network]], for broadcast in [[Canada]].  Fox News Canada was to be a domestic Canadian version of Fox News.<ref>{{cite-web|url=http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Decisions/2000/DB2000-565.htm|title=Decision CRTC 2000-565 - Registration with CRTC for Fox News Canada|accessdate=2007-01-25}}</ref>  The channel, or ''specialty television service,'' was never implemented by Fox, and the deadline for commencement of the service expired on [[November 24]], [[2004]].  That same day, a similar licence was granted to [[Rogers Communications]] for "MSNBC Canada", which went to air in September, 2001. During this period, it was speculated by some, and repeated by Fox News personalities, that the station was being "banned in Canada".  The CRTC's previous refusal to grant Fox News an outright license had been contested by some Canadians, as well as American fans of the channel, who believed the decision to be politically motivated. However, it is rare for any American cable network to be licensed in Canada outright.
 +
 
 +
On [[November 18]], [[2004]] the CRTC announced that a digital license would be granted to Fox News.<ref>{{cite-web|url=http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Notices/2004/pb2004-88.htm|title=Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2004-88 - Requests to add Fox News and NFL Network from the Canadian Cable Telecommunications Association|accessdate=2007-01-25}}</ref>  In its proposal, Fox News stated, with reference to Fox News Canada, that "Fox News does not intend to implement this service and therefore will not meet the extended deadline to commence operations."<ref>{{cite-web|url=http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Notices/2004/pb2004-45.htm|title=Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2004-45] - Call for comments on proposals for the addition of Fox News and NFL Network|accessdate=2007-01-25}}</ref>  On [[December 16]], [[2004]], Rogers Communications became the first Canadian cable or satellite provider to broadcast Fox News, with other companies following suit within the next several weeks.
 +
 
 +
===New Zealand===
 +
In [[New Zealand]], Fox News is broadcast on Channel 92 of pay satellite operator [[SKY Network Television|Sky]] TV's digital platform.  It is also broadcast overnight on New Zealand TV channel [[Prime Television (New Zealand)|Prime]], owned by Sky. Fox News parent corporation [[News Corp]] has a stake in both Sky and Prime.
 +
 
 +
===Scandinavia===
 +
In [[Sweden]] and the other [[Scandinavia]]n countries, Fox News is broadcast on [[TV8]] for some 16 hours a day, since 2003. Fox News Extra segments replace U.S. advertising.  However, in September 2006, Fox News was replaced by German news channel [[Deutsche Welle]]. This change resulted in Fox News losing all of its coverage in Sweden.
 +
 
 +
===United Kingdom and Ireland===
 +
Fox News is also carried in the [[United Kingdom]] and [[Ireland]] by the [[British Sky Broadcasting]] (BSkyB) satellite television network ([[Sky Digital]]), in which News Corporation (the largest shareholder) holds a 38 percent stake.  It is a sister channel to BSkyB's [[Sky News]], which is more popular in the region and does not carry any such controversy. Fox News is usually broadcast as a [[VideoGuard]] [[encrypted]] channel but during major news stories it may be simulcast on [[Sky Active]], which is free to air.  A fault in certain [[Pace (Company)|Pace Micro]] [[Sky Digibox]] receivers, notably the DS-430N which was Sky's default issue for some years, has left them able to decrypt the channel with no active subscription card since [[March 1]], [[2006]]; although no reason is known as to why.  As of September 2006 the channel has carried UK specific advertising, along with headlines and weather provided by [[Sky News]] between its breaks. These run under the brand of Fox News International.
 +
 
 +
===Other countries===
 +
[[Image:Fox News world providers.PNG|thumb|220px|Countries where Fox News is provided]]
 +
Fox News Channel is also carried in more than 40 countries.  Although service to [[Japan]] stopped in the summer of 2003, it can still be seen on Americable (distributor for American bases),<ref>{{cite-web|url=http://americablejapan.com|title=Americable}}</ref> Mediatti (Kadena Air Base),<ref>{{cite-web|url=http://www.mccokinawa.com/cable|title=Mediatti}}</ref> and Pan Global TV Japan.<ref>{{cite-web|url=http://www.panglobaltvjapan.com/|title=Pan Global TV Japan}}</ref>
