The founding of the FOX Broadcasting Company must be placed within a context of the general economic uncertainty and decline of network television.
FOX's vertically integrated structure (a combination of 20th Century-Fox, FOX Network and Fox Stations) is also well suited to produce and distribute a large number of quality shows.

Not only was it the event that placed Fox on a par with the "big three" broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) but it also ushered in an era of growth for the NFL which continues on largely to this day.
It was estimated in 2003 that Fox is viewable by 96.18% of all U.S. households, reaching 102,565,710 houses in the United States.

 Fox vows to turn network around - Dec. 7, 1999
NEW YORK (CNNfn) - Fox Entertainment Group President Peter Chernin publicly criticized his television network’s recent efforts Tuesday, but said the organization’s turnaround was already underway.
    Fox Entertainment Group fell short of analysts’ expectations during its most recent fiscal year in large part because of a weak performance by its broadcasting unit, which saw revenues fall 5 percent during the fourth quarter alone.
In addition to its low ratings, critics assailed the network for waiting until late October to premiere many of its more popular shows - a decision made because the network was broadcasting the World Series - and then unveiling few new shows that captured the public’s attention.

 FOX Network Cancels 5 Emmy Nominated Shows as Season Enters Third Week
NEW YORK, NY-As expected, the FOX Television network announced today the cancellation of seven critically acclaimed and widely popular television shows as the fall season entered its third week.
Though many concede these new series didn't perform well, industry analysts attribute this to the fact that FOX only aired a few episodes and cancelled them before looking at the fact the shows were well-received.
Last year, the network cancelled Action, a show TV Guide called "well written and provocative" and later pulled their astonishing teen docudrama American High after only two episodes.
