The Fox News Channel (FNC), commonly known as Fox News, is an American multinational conservative news and political commentary television channel and website based in New York City, U.S.[3][4] It is owned by Fox News Media, which itself is owned by Fox Corporation.[5] It is the most-watched cable news network in the U.S.,[6][7] and as of 2023 it generates approximately 70% of its parent company's pre-tax profit.[8] The channel broadcasts primarily from studios at 1211 Avenue of the Americas in Midtown Manhattan. Fox News provides a service to 86 countries and territories,[9] with international broadcasts featuring Fox Extra segments during advertising breaks.[10]

The channel was created by Australian-born American media mogul Rupert Murdoch in 1996 to appeal to a conservative audience, hiring former Republican media consultant and CNBC executive Roger Ailes as its founding CEO.[11][12] It launched on October 7, 1996, to 17-million cable subscribers.[13] Fox News grew during the late 1990s and 2000s to become the dominant United States cable news subscription network.[14] By September 2018, 87-million U.S. households (91% of television subscribers) could receive Fox News.[15] In 2019, it was the top-rated cable network, averaging 2.5-million viewers in prime time.[16][17][18] Murdoch, the executive chairman since 2016,[19][20] said in 2023 that he would step down and hand responsibilities to his son, Lachlan.[21] Suzanne Scott has been the CEO since 2018.[22]

It has been identified as engaging in biased and false reporting in favor of the Republican Party, its politicians, and conservative causes,[23][24][25] while portraying the Democratic Party in a negative light.[26][27] Researchers have argued that the channel is damaging to the integrity of news overall,[28][29] and acts as an expanded part of the Republican Party.[26][30][31][32]

The channel has knowingly endorsed false conspiracy theories to promote Republican and conservative causes.[33][34][35] These include, but are not limited to, false claims regarding fraud with Dominion voting machines during their reporting on the 2020 presidential election,[36][37] climate change denial,[a] and COVID-19 misinformation.[38][39][40] It has also been involved in multiple controversies, including accusations of permitting sexual harassment and racial discrimination by on-air hosts, executives, and employees,[41][42][43] ultimately paying out millions of dollars in legal settlements.[44]
