  Fox Broadcasting Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fox management, having seen the critical role that sports programming (soccer programming in particular) had played in the growth of satellite service BSkyB, believed that sports, and specifically professional football, would be the engine that would make Fox a major network the quickest.
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.
In the past few years, when Fox aired new episodes of original programing at 7 PM on Sundays during football season, some of the markets, especially on the east coast are unable to see the new episode of the scheduled show due to NFL overun.

George Seifert (born January 22, 1940 in San Francisco, California) is a former NFL head coach of the San Francisco 49ers and the Carolina Panthers.
He is one of only twelve NFL head coaches with more than one Super Bowl victory, winning in convicing fashion during both the 1989 and 1994 seasons with the San Francisco 49ers.

 Fox thrives amid trying times in Carolina - PittsburghLIVE.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Fox had been a graduate assistant, secondary coach, consultant or defensive coordinator at eight colleges and five NFL teams in a career that began at San Diego State in 1978 (including three years at Pitt and three more with the Steelers from 1986-91).
Fox also used an almost forgotten concept to help transform what was the NFL's worst defense a year ago into the league's No. 6 unit through 13 games this season.
What Fox has reminded everyone of mainly is that it's possible to generate a fearsome pass rush without committing regularly to a series of risky blitzes, provided you have the right people rushing up front (33 of the Panthers' 42 sacks have been generated by the defensive line; Carolina trails only Philadelphia's 46 sacks overall).
