Below you will find a current, updated list of News Corporation assets promoted on Fox News. Unless otherwise noted, the connection to News Corp. was not mentioned during the promo. This is important because Fox News has become a 24-hour cable advertising station for its parent company, News Corporation. Whenever you hear someone on Fox complain that another network doesn't claim their parent company's connection to a book author who's appearing on that network, just remember the list below. Check back often. It will grow quickly.
