This news channel reports and people have decided to watch. FOX News Network operates the FOX News Channel, the leading 24-hour cable news station that reaches more than 95 million US homes. It provides round-the-clock news coverage and commentary, including such top rated programs as The O'Reilly Factor, featuring commentator Bill O'Reilly, and Hannity with Sean Hannity. FOX News also produces content distributed to TV affiliates of the FOX network and publishes news online; its FOX News Radio Network syndicates news to radio stations around the country. Launched by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation in 1996, the channel's less than tacit support of conservative politics has stirred both passion and criticism.
