Fox News Live Stream

Fox News or the Fox News Channel (FNC for short) is a subscription-based US television channel dedicated to providing news and opinion on the latest national and global current affairs.

Fox News Live Stream is also available to paid internet TV services across the world. In total, Fox News is transmitted to over 86 countries as of this year.

Fox News Background

Fox News Channel was founded by entrepreneur Rupert Murdoch back in 1996 to a subscriber base of over 17 million cable customers.

That number has since grown to at least 100 million customers who receive Fox News, making it one of the most dominant news channels in the USA.

Murdoch still plays a role in the conservative-focused channel, despite the fact he is approaching his 90th birthday. He acts as executive chairman, whilst Suzanne Scott is the current CEO.

Fox News Channel Programming

Fox News is live on air for at least 15 hours per day, and is based at its New York City studio on Sixth Avenue.

Whilst a large proportion of its content is focused on news reporting, it offers a wide variety of programmings such as America’s Newsroom, Hannity, and The Greg Gutfeld Show.

In terms of its scheduling, it runs news-only programming from 9 am to 4 pm and again from 6 pm to 8 pm. Content outside of those hours often takes the form of opinionated commentary.

Fox News usually takes a conservative view on current and political events, their news personalities have helped to shape it as one of, if not the most, watched news channels on the planet.

Viewership has continued to rise as Fox News host controversial figures who help to fuel healthy debate amongst their panel and guests.

Fox News Live Stream

With the rise of the internet, there is a Fox News Live Stream on a number of internet platforms which gives viewers the chance to watch their favorite Fox News Channel shows whilst on the move. Fox decided to make this move in 2008 and hasn’t looked back since.

The move to include online platforms has boosted the Fox News Channel dramatically. Last year it took the top spot for America’s most watched cable channel with an estimated average audience of 2.4 million people.

The Fox News Channel is also available on digital radio via the satellite radio providers Sirius and XM.

Fox News Channel Coverage

Fox News has covered a wide range of issues since its inception in 1996.

Notable events include the 9/11 terrorist attacks where they used a ticker along the bottom of the screen to summarize other news for the first time. This is a feature which has since stayed and other news outlets have adopted it.

Fox News came to dominate cable news providers due to its extensive coverage of the 2016 US Presidential election, with Donald Trump coming out on top. It is now perhaps the “go to” network for political campaigns.

Live debates have also helped to send its popularity into overdrive.

These debates are usually between guests who have a range of political and ideological backgrounds, which can cause friction and therefore entertain for their many viewers.
