4:50 note for WLFL 22 (Raleigh): they switched to The WB in 1998, which later evolved into today's CW; Fox moved in '98 to their current home on WRAZ (switching from The WB)...

[@beasy8991]

These late '80s Fox promos remind me of the WB promos from the '90s. The WB definitely took some cues from Fox.

[@ChristianPerez-pr9jj]

Man! Those Fox promos from the 80s look so old! Fox sure is pretty old! Fox has been on the air for 36 years already! Fox will be turning 37 next month! Fox was very old back then. Fox sure is one of America's longest-running networks in history! Even the Fox Network logo looks old, too!

[@TheVHSStash]

Not as old as NBC at 97 years.

[@MrAstrodome]

​@@TheVHSStash Still can't believe NBC will be a century old in 2027.

[@joshuagalka3526]

Lots of FOX ID's and Promos!

[@luisreyes1963]

What were you expecting, DuMont? 😂

[@ChristianPerez-pr9jj]

The Fox Network launched 36 years ago on October 9th, 1986 before it actually launched its first programs on April 5th, 1987. Fox sure is one of the long-running TV channels in America.

[@charleswilliamsjr]

How come Monroe Louisiana did not make the cut?

[@TheVHSStash]

Monroe would not get their own Fox affiliate until KARD would switch from ABC to Fox in 1994.

Fox 33 In Norfolk: Yawn...

[@ChristianPerez-pr9jj]

Um, Fox actually launched in 1986 or 1987, not 1985.

[@TheVHSStash]

Fox as a network launched in '86, but stations acquired from Metromedia used the Fox branding as early as '85.
