Fox Network Programming
Fox News Channel acts as the de facto news division of the Fox broadcast network, providing coverage of major breaking news and select live events, such as the State of the Union speech. The network also manages Fox News Edge, a distribution service of footage and reports for local Fox affiliates' news broadcasts.
In addition to news coverage, the network produces Fox News Sunday, a Sunday morning talk shows featuring interviews with national leaders in politics and public life, hosted by Chris Wallace. From 2007 - 2009, the network produced The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet, a syndicated morning program featuring celebrity interviews, a live studio audience, and segments relating to viewers, hosted by past-DaySide and Fox & Friends Weekend hosts, Juliet Huddy and Mike Jerrick.(Produced by FNC's sister division 20th Television and cancelled in the summer of 2009).
Since the original launch of FNC, the network has tried multiple times to produce newsmagazine programs for the network. Some of these programs have been canceled due to low ratings, including Fox Files, The Pulse, and Geraldo at Large (which returned to FNC in February 2007 as a weekend show). But others, like Hannity's America, continue to thrive. Bill O'Reilly has said he considers his top rated show - The O'Reilly Factor to be in the format of a newsmagazine. He points to the inclusion of regular features such as 'Pinheads & Patriots' and the weekly 'The Great American Culture Quiz', which has very little to do with politics, to bolster his point.

Famous quotes containing the words fox, network and/or programming:
“Anybody depending on somebody else’s gods is depending on a fox not to eat chickens.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“A culture may be conceived as a network of beliefs and purposes in which any string in the net pulls and is pulled by the others, thus perpetually changing the configuration of the whole. If the cultural element called morals takes on a new shape, we must ask what other strings have pulled it out of line. It cannot be one solitary string, nor even the strings nearby, for the network is three-dimensional at least.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
