List Of Programs Broadcast By Fox
The Fox Broadcasting Company, commonly referred to as the Fox network or simply Fox, is an American commercial broadcasting television network owned by the Fox Entertainment Group. Though it was officially launched on October 9, 1986, Fox began its official primetime setup on April 5, 1987, with the series Married... with Children and The Tracey Ullman Show airing that night.
As of October 2012, Fox maintains 19.5 hours of programming per week. The animated comedy series The Simpsons is one of Fox's most popular shows, becoming the network's first series to rank among the top 30 highest-rated shows of a television season after its original debut, and is the longest running sitcom, as well as animated series of all time, contributing to the channel's success. 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." The science fiction television series The X-Files also contributed to the network's success, which lead to two spin-offs Millennium and The Lone Gunmen. 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 titled Fox Kids, which ran from September 8, 1990 to September 7, 2002.
Unlike the "three larger networks", which aired primetime programming from 8 to 11 pm (EST) Mondays to Saturdays and 7 to 11 pm (EST) Sundays, Fox has traditionally avoided programming in the 10 pm (EST) time interval, leaving that hour to affiliates to program locally. On April 21, 2012, Fox celebrated its 25th anniversary, with a two-hour television special, featuring numerous people related to Fox and its shows. It presented Fox's programs 24, American Idol, Cops, Family Guy, Married... with Children, The Simpsons, The X-Files, among numerous other programs. The network's animated cartoons are listed under the Animation Domination banner, which is a Sunday night programming block. Fox is a full member of the North American Broadcasters Association (NABA) and the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB).
