TMC 05-26-2017, 10:17 PM http://www.tvobscurities.com/2017/04/30th-anniversary-of-fox-prime-time/ Technically, it’s not the 30th anniversary of FOX (http://www.emmytvlegends.org/news/from-al-bundy-to-lucious-lyon-fox-turns-30) but the FOX Broadcasting Company did launch in prime time 30 years ago today. The network officially debuted on Thursday, October 9th, 1986 (http://tvline.com/2016/10/07/fox-best-tv-shows-greatest-30th-anniversary-photos/) with its late-night talk show The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers (http://articles.latimes.com/1987-04-03/news/vw-2234_1_fox-network). Its entry into prime time had to wait until Sunday, April 5th, 1987 (https://www.tvinsider.com/152672/married-with-children-30th-anniversary-april-5-fox-comedy/). The lineup that night consisted of two sitcom premieres, each aired three times. In a box somewhere, I have TV Guide with a special insert for FOX’s prime time launch. Thanks to YouTube, enjoy the following 30-year-old FOX promotional spots as well as some commercials: 7fMphK_Fyfw Over the next month, FOX rolled out a number of other shows: 21 Jump Street, Duet, and Mr. President. It wasn’t until May 10th that the network had a stable Sunday lineup. A second night of programming (Saturday) debuted on July 11th. FOX did not consider itself a traditional television network in 1987. “We call ourselves a ‘satellite-delivered national program service,'” programming chief Garth Ancier told The Los Angeles Times prior to FOX’s prime time debut. “There are tremendous uphill battles” to becoming a fourth network, Ancier explained. “There are technical and built-in audience obstacles. This hasn’t been done since before I was born, with the old DuMont Network.” Somehow, FOX pulled it off and here we are three decades later. Nordy 05-27-2017, 12:38 AM Long live the Bundy's!!! |
