FOX is a major American broadcast TV network owned by the FOX Corporation. It is known for its bold, innovative programming, featuring a diverse lineup of dramas, comedies, reality shows, and sports. 

FOX was launched in 1986, making it the youngest of the four major American broadcast networks. It quickly established itself with edgy shows like 90210, The X-Files, Beverly Hills, 90210, and the long-running animated hit show, The Simpsons. These counterculture shows appealed to a younger demographic, helping the network grow into the media powerhouse it is today. 

The network is also famous for revolutionizing the reality TV genre with hits like America’s Most Wanted, The Simple Life, and American Idol. It is still a major leader in the unscripted programming, with its current schedule featuring hit shows like The Masked Singer, Hell’s Kitchen, and Fear Factor. 

FOX has also invested heavily in live sports programming, offering comprehensive coverage of the NFL, MLB, college basketball, and soccer (including the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup). The network also offers several sports shows, including Wake Up Barstool, First Things First, and The Herd. 

FOX is also renowned for its lineup of high-profile TV hosts and personalities. Key figures include Gordon Ramsay (Hell’s Kitchen), Johnny Knoxville (Fear Factor), Nick Cannon (The Masked Singer), and Jane Krakowski (Name That Tune).
