OP,
You've fallen into a common trap here.
With the exception of common ownership (Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., a global media conglomerate), there is really no connection between Fox NewsChannel and the Fox Television Network. The differences are huge.
Fox NewsChannel is a full time
CABLE news channel, headquartered in New York. Fox TV network consists of
ON AIR TV stations -- some of which are owned by Fox (called owned and operated stations or O&O's in the broadcast business), but most owned by other people/groups and only affilliated with Fox. It is headquartered in Los Angeles. You will notice that most Fox O&O's and on air affilliates may do a local newscast -- but don't have a national show like NBC Nightly News, etc.
All of the major networks consist of a few O&O's and many more affilliated stations.
The Fox Television Network is purely entertainment driven.
There are also other divisions including Fox Sports and the regional Fox Sports Channel regional cable networks.
It's confusing, but as I said above, there is common ownership, but they are run as totally separate entities.
