The Fox Broadcasting Company, better known simply as FOX, is an American commercial broadcast network.
It was the original US home of the 1996 Doctor Who television film.
It was also the original network of X-Men: The Animated Series via the Fox Kids block.
Though seen as a full competitor to the older ABC, NBC and CBS terrestrial networks in the 21st century, it was just emerging as a significant national broadcaster, at the time of the tele-movie's broadcast in 1996. At that time, they had only been programming full seven-day weeks for three years, and were still acquiring stations in the smaller markets of the United States. Nevertheless, their flagship programme, The Simpsons, a growing stable of successful primetime soaps, and their recent acquisition of rights to broadcast professional American football, had begun to threaten the dominance of "The Big Three" when McGann debuted.
