Fox and its affiliated companies operate many entertainment channels in international markets, but these do not necessarily air the same programming as the U.S. network. Most viewers in Canada have access to at least one U.S.-based Fox affiliate, either over the air or through a pay television provider, although Fox's [[NFL on Fox|National Football League broadcasts]] and most of its prime time programming are subject to [[simultaneous substitution]] regulations for [[pay television]] providers imposed by the [[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission]] (CRTC) to protect rights held by domestically based networks. Like Canada, Fox programming is available in Mexico through free-to-air affiliates in markets located within proximity to the Mexico–United States border whose signals are readily receivable over-the-air in border areas of northern Mexico. In Central America, the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean, many subscription providers carry either select U.S.-based Fox-affiliated stations or the main network feed from Fox O&Os [[WNYW]] in [[New York City]] or [[WSVN]] in [[Miami]]. In addition, the network's programming has been available in the [[U.S. Virgin Islands]] since 2011 on [[WVXF]] in [[Charlotte Amalie, U.S. Virgin Islands|Charlotte Amalie]] (owned by [[Caribbean Broadcasting Network]], [[Limited liability company|LLC]]). Like Central America, the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean, Fox programming is available in Peru and Colombia in many subscription providers carry either select U.S.-based Fox-affiliated stations or the main network feed from Fox O&Os [[WNYW]] in [[New York City]] or [[WSVN]] in [[Miami]].
Fox is named after the film studio that was originally called [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]] (the network's corporate sibling prior to that studio's [[Acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney|acquisition by The Walt Disney Company]]) and after the producer [[William Fox (producer)|William Fox]], who had founded one of the film studio's predecessors, [[Fox Film]], before it was merged with [[20th Century Pictures]] in 1935. Fox is a member of the [[North American Broadcasters Association]] and the [[National Association of Broadcasters]].

Shortly afterward, News Corporation began striking affiliation deals with, and later purchasing, more television station groups. On May 23, 1994, Fox agreed to purchase a 20% stake in [[New World Pictures#New World Communications|New World Communications]], a television and film [[production company]] controlled by investor [[Ronald Perelman]] that had just recently entered into broadcasting through its 1993 purchase of seven stations owned by [[Storer Broadcasting|SCI Television]].

In May 2023, Fox dropped its procedural drama ''[[9-1-1 (TV series)|9-1-1]]'' after six seasons. It had been the network's scripted tentpole since 2018. As a 20th Television production, ABC would subsequently pick up the series for a seventh season.

Except for ''[[The Critic]]'', ''[[The PJs]]'' and ''[[Futurama]]'', which were respectively cancelled in 1995, 2000 and 2003, typically every Sunday night during prime time (unless preempted, usually by sports telecasts), Fox airs a lineup incorporating original adult animation sitcoms, all being produced (or co-produced with Fox for post-2019 works) by the network's original sister company, 20th Television, which is currently a subsidiary of [[Walt Disney Television]]. This block of adult cartoons became a staple of the network airing under the brand ''[[Animation Domination]]'' from May 1, 2005, to September 14, 2014, when the network rebranded the block as ''Sunday Funday'' as a result of the re-incorporation of live-action comedy series on the Sunday night lineup after ten years<ref>{{cite web|title=Why Sunday Funday Will Probably Be Animation Domination Again By Next Year|url=https://www.cinemablend.com/television/Why-Sunday-Funday-Probably-Animation-Domination-Again-By-Next-Year-67537.html|first=Jesse|last=Carp|website=[[CinemaBlend]]|date=September 26, 2014|access-date=June 27, 2015}}</ref> (aside from occasional burn-offs of series aired on other nights during the 7:00 pm.

A particularly unique situation was with [[KTVU]] (channel 2) in [[Oakland, California|Oakland]]-San Francisco, which as a Fox affiliate under longtime owner [[Cox Media Group]], retained its perennial "Channel 2" brand (with limited references as "Fox Channel 2" by the early 1990s). In 1996, the station rebranded as "KTVU Fox 2" for general purposes (adding the Fox logo on the underside of the top line of its heritage "Circle Laser 2" logo as well), while retaining "''(KTVU) Channel 2 News''" as the branding for its newscasts. Fox Television Stations (which traded WFXT in Boston and [[WHBQ-TV]] (channel 13) in [[Memphis, Tennessee|Memphis]] station to Cox in 2014, in exchange for KTVU and sister station [[KICU-TV]]) instituted the "KTVU Fox 2" branding full-time in February 2015, retaining the "Circle Laser 2" both within the group's standardized "boxkite" logo and in an alternate version (which would become the primary logo through its de-emphasis of the O&O standardization later that year) placed next to a prominent Fox wordmark.<ref>{{cite web|title=KTVU Debuts Fox O&O Look and New Branding|url=http://damonbroadcasting.blogspot.com/2015/02/ktvu-debuts-fox-o-look-and-new-branding.html|website=TV News Coverage You Can Count On|date=February 9, 2015|access-date=May 14, 2015}}</ref> Another situation also includes another Fox station [[KCPQ]] in [[Seattle]], Washington, which as a Fox affiliate under [[Tribune Media]] and [[Nexstar Media Group]], also retained the "Q13 Fox" name as well as the "Q13 News" name for its newscast until KCPQ dropped the Q13 moniker and rebranded itself to "Fox 13" in September 2021, conforming with the branding of other Fox O&O stations after its acquisition by Fox.
Starting in 2006, more standardization of the O&Os began to take place both on-air and online. All of the network's O&Os began adopting an on-air look more closely aligned with the [[Fox News]] Channel, which included a standardized red, white and blue boxkite-style logo augmented by red pillars (which rotated on-air, particularly in the logo bugs seen during newscasts). After News Corporation's acquisition of the social networking site [[Myspace]] (which it sold in June 2011 to a consortium that included singer [[Justin Timberlake]] among its backers), some Fox O&Os launched websites with identical layouts and similar URL domains under the "MyFox" scheme (such as MyFoxDC.com for WTTG). On-air usage of the FNC-inspired logos was reduced in August 2012 (when a new standardized graphics package was implemented, with [[wordmark]] bugs being used during newscasts and other programming), while several of the O&Os ceased using the "MyFox" domains in 2015; the use of the Fox News Channel boxkite logos in all elements, along with explicit connections with the latter, was drastically reduced since the July 2016 resignation of [[Roger Ailes]] from Fox for a more traditional and simpler 'call-channel number' horizontal wordmark style which is more flexible with both traditional television and smaller mobile screens. In 2017, Fox's local newscast music composer, [[Stephen Arnold Music]], released a new news music package, "Beyond", that uses none of the Fox News Channel sonic elements associated with the previous Fox O&O music package, and it has rolled out across all Fox O&O local news operations.
As of 2017, Fox O&O's with a sister MyNetworkTV station in that market have also begun to play down that network, with many MyNetworkTV O&O's now taking on the branding of "Fox (channel number) Plus/Xtra/More", etc., suggesting them as an extension of their higher-profile sister Fox station. Several of these stations now also carry extended newscasts or rebroadcasts of earlier newscasts from their sister stations during primetime, pushing MyNetworkTV's schedule to a late night offering.
