The '''Fox Broadcasting Company''' (often referred to simply as '''Fox''') is a television network. It is owned by Fox Entertainment Group, a part of [[Rupert Murdoch]]'s [[21st Century Fox]]. The network is named for the sister company [[20th Century Fox]], one of the six major American movie studios.
[[Fox News Channel]] is known for supplying an unbiased look at world events, earning it accolades from [[conservatives]] and moderates alike. Fox's other programming, however, is often less laudable. Fox's entertainment division - which airs on a different channel, and is home to such shows of dubious morality as ''[[Family Guy]]'' and ''[[The Simpsons]]'' - has been singled out by the [[Parents Television Council]] for obsessive violence and sexual [[obscenities]]. Additionally, several major shows on Fox's entertainment channels have been known to mock conservative Christians in general, and creationists in specific.

==Television Program==
After signing affiliation agreements with a number of [[independent station]]s and some stations which had previously been affiliated with [[ABC]], [[CBS]] and [[NBC]], Fox launched on October 9, 1986 with its first program, the nightly talk show ''The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers'', then began programming in primetime in 1987 by launching a Sunday night lineup including ''Married... with Children'' and ''The Tracey Ullman Show'' (the latter of which later spun off ''[[The Simpsons]]''). Initially beginning with just one night a week of primetime programming (its Sunday lineup), it eventually expanded to a full seven day a week schedule by 1993, also including daytime programming through its Fox Kids program block of animated cartoons (like ''Tiny Toon Adventures'' and ''Animaniacs'') and its sole news/political discussion program, ''Fox News Sunday''. Fox eventually became part of the Big Four networks in 1994 when it obtained the broadcast rights to the [[National Football League|NFL]]'s National Football Conference games.
Fox is considered by some observers to be a revival of sorts, or a linear descendant, of the now-defunct DuMont Television Network, as DuMont's owned-and-operated stations (including New York City station WABD, now WNYW), which later spun off from parent company DuMont Laboratories to become Metromedia, were purchased by News Corporation (the then-parent company of 20th Century Fox) and went on to form the Fox network in 1986;<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20101027143941/http://dumonthistory.tv/9.html The DuMont Television Network: Channel Nine]</ref> in addition, the current Fox Television Center in New York City was originally the DuMont Tele-Centre and had been the base of that network's operations prior to the network's closure in 1956, then was known as the Metromedia Telecenter from then until 1986.
