About FOX
The FOX network launched in 1986 as a fourth American broadcaster when conventional wisdom said three was the limit, and established itself with The Simpsons, which has run since 1989 and is the longest-running scripted series in the country. It reached that position by buying up independent stations and by taking NFL rights from CBS, which forced affiliates across the country to switch networks.

Fox Corporation is what the Murdoch family kept when Disney bought most of 21st Century Fox in 2019: the news, sport and broadcast assets rather than the film studio. Its name still appears on films it no longer owns, which is a common source of confusion.
