Veronica is a commercial TV channel in the Netherlands, owned by Sanoma (67%) and Talpa Holding (33%). Other channels from Sanoma and Talpa Holding in the Netherlands are SBS 6 and NET 5.
It is not to be confused with the Veronica Association (Vereniging Veronica). ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG licensed the trademark name Veronica from the Association and also owns the Association's former magazines Veronica Magazine and Satellite.
The Association resulted from a pirate radio station, Radio Veronica, which broadcast from a ship from international waters off the coast of the Netherlands. The little wave in the logo hearkens back to that time. The name Veronica is a derivation of the abbreviation VRON (Vrije Radio Omroep Nederland / Free Radio Broadcasting station Netherlands).
After the pirate-activities became legally impossible (31 August 1974), Veronica transformed itself into the Veronica Association, enabling it to gain a legal radio and television license within the Public broadcasting system. Within a decade it became the largest public broadcaster and the trademark was tested as being more popular than Coca-Cola. In 1995 the Veronica Association gave up public broadcasting and entered a joint-venture with RTL, called the Holland Media Groep, running three mostly successful national TV-stations and three mostly unsuccessful national radio stations. Infighting led to the dissolution of this co-operation per Spring, 2001.
Fox Broadcasting Company, commonly referred to as the Fox Network or simply Fox (and stylized as FOX), is an American commercial broadcasting television network owned by Fox Entertainment Group, part of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. Launched on October 9, 1986, Fox was the highest-rated broadcast network in the 18–49 demographic from 2004 to 2009. In the 2007–08 season, Fox became the most popular network in America in household ratings for the first time in its history, replacing CBS. CBS took back the top spot in the 2008–09 season.
The Fox Broadcasting Company and its affiliates operate many entertainment channels internationally, although these do not necessarily air the same programming as the U.S. network. Most viewers in Canada have access to at least one U.S. Fox affiliate, although most of Fox's primetime programming is subject to Canadian simultaneous substitution regulations.
The network is named after sister company 20th Century Fox, and indirectly for producer William Fox, who founded one of the movie studio's predecessors, Fox Film.

Kenshirô: Shin::Shin: The time has come. Yuria is mine now. In times like these only the strongest may possess what is most valuable!::Yuria: [Shin grabs her hand] Uh. What are you doing? Uh.::Kenshirô: Let her go!::Shin: Get back! I warned you. Don't stand in my way Ken, I don't want to hurt you but I will if I have to. You see, Yuria is mine. Understand?::Yuria: This is madness. The fists of the north and south aren't ever supposed to fight, you know that!::Shin: Perhaps that was true once but now rules are meaningless. Defend yourself!
Yuria: Shin. At one time you were Ken's closest friend. He trusted and respected you. When your were chosen as fist of the south star, he was glad for you, glad for his friend's success but you were never really his friend were you?::Shin: Yes I was, but then he left and when he came back he brought you. First time I saw you I knew you would be mine someday and that day has come!
Jagi: Shin has broken all the rules and the thing that Ken trusted him like a brother, but we are his brothers. You are the strongest Raoh. You got to get down there and challenge Shin to a fight.::Jagi: You know you can take him. Now with Ken out of the way, you will be the fist of the north star.::Jagi: Of course it's your decision to face him or not and I won't blame you if you don't. After all we both know what happens if you challenge the power of the fist and fail. You either bleed to death, become a mindless vegetable or worse. But I am certain you're strong enough to win. And who know better than me? I 'm your brother aren't I?::[Raoh opens his right eye and looks at Jagi]
Ken-Ô: [Opening the doors] Ryûken, the fist of the north star has been defeated. Shin crushed him as he would an insect. When you chose Ken as your successor, I told you that it should have been me and I was right! Stand up, I'll prove it to you! I challenge you to a test of strenght!::Ryûken: Physical strenght is no substitute for perception. For perception is the key which unlocks the intangible powers of the spirit. You perceive nothing.::Ken-Ô: You silly old fool. Stop hiding behind your metaphors and metaphysical fantasies. The fist of the north star is dead!::Ryûken: Your point?::Ken-Ô: Don't you understand? Now I'm fist of the north star!::[Breaking havoc]::Ken-Ô: My power is greater than ever before. No one can stand against me.::Ryûken: May be, but you see, power without perception is virtually useless and therefore of no true value!::Ken-Ô: Useless? hehe. Ryûken, what a foolish old man you are. Any tool is useful if you know how to use it, and I have become an expert. Watch! Admit it. At this moment, I'm more powerful than you ever were. I am fist of the north star.::Ryûken: I don't agree and I never shall. Go and do what you must Raoh but never set foot in this dojo again!
Brave Old Villager: Why? Why would the man who killed Zender and saved our village send these animals here to kill us? I can't believe the fist of the north star would do such a thing!::Abusive Bad Guy: Oh yeah? Guess again!::[Raises his big hammer to kill but gets forcely and unexpectedly hit by Rei]::Abusive Bad Guy: Who's that guy?::Rei: My name is Rei and I am looking for the man you describe. The man with the seven wounds who calls himself fist of the north star.::Abusive Bad Guy: I'll give you this much. You got gutts walking in like this. Give me that! So, with all due respect. I'll let you be the one who cut his head off.::Rei: That's quite an honor but I hate for you to miss all that fun on my account. Are you sure about this?::Abusive Bad Guy: Hey, what are friends for right?::[Rei easily and quickly uses the weapon on the bad guy]::Abusive Bad Guy: [Before dying] Wait a minute, I was talking about the other guy.::Rei: Silly me. What a foolish mistake.::Abusive Bad Guy: I got a splitting headache.::Rei: [after grinding aproaching enemies to pieces] Now take me to your boss! Ken, the man with the seven wounds, the fist of the north star.::Abusive Bad Guy: The hell I will!::[Ken appearing from behind]::Kenshirô: One question! Satisfy my curiosity, that statue in the town square, who is it supposed to be?::Big Chin Bad Guy: Fist of the north st aargh::[Interrupted by the fist of Kenshiro]::Kenshirô: It's a good likeness but it is not the fist of the north star!

Kenshirô: You are already dead.

the rain let up when the sun went down
I was livin' in a sad old story
the moon didn't shine but the train was on time
and the fox looked down on the glory
the fox looked down on the glory
the mare went lame and the fox got blame
there were tracks leadin' down from the trestle
then someone said that the fox was dead
but no one spoke of the devil
no one spoke of the devil
(GUITAR & HARP STUFF w/cool bass line)
the winter turned spring the valley turned green
the fox burned red in the sunrise
the hawk got shot the thief got caught
and the fox stood still on the hillside
the fox stood still on the hillside
then you broke up and I broke down
we're all in the soul of the stranger
and I know now what you knew then
the fox just laughed at the danger
the fox just laughed at the danger

C-c-come, come inside I've been expecting you to arrive Your sh-sh-shoes, shake 'em off While I go and turn the music down soft
Oh, but all I've got is a s-s-single bed There ain't no room for your sweet head Now ain't it a shame you missed the last train? 'Cause all I've got is a s-s-single bed
(S-s-s-single bed, s-single bed) There ain't no room for your sweet head (S-s-s-single bed, s-single bed) I've got a one solitary lonesome single bed
P-p-p-pour out your wine And we could explore each others minds T-t-t-time don't half fly When the pleasures of night are reaching so high

We lit a jar spectacular And gazed at the light for hours We climbed a stairway through the air Till we reached the highest tower And we never saw our friends again No we never saw our friends again Strange ships sailing in the moonlight Round trips from dawn to midnight Look at those strange ships flickering like satellites Coming to sail us away Oh sail us away We saw a bus in phosphorus Doin' 200 miles an hour The rainbow wheels were passin' us Leaving an array of flowers And we'll never see the same again We'll never see the same again And we'll never be the same again Strange ships sailing in the moonlight Look at those strange ships flickering like satellites Coming to sail us away Oh sail us away
Concrete iced white and worn will tear
I wonder why we stood still there
If I cracked open those blinds
If I looked at you beside me
Now I've looked to find myself inside
Undefined by old straight lines
I curve away
And as we define our new design
Architects in our fused minds
We move away
The waterline between my eyes
I linger between
You left me there You left me there
Leaning to a tree
Trying to stay awake
Gotta get up Gotta get up
Throwing up Standing straight Throwing up
Standing straight Throwing up
Fox is a towel hang it up hang it up
Don't see no rainbows not aroused
Not excited feeling sleepy
Something sweet to get up with
Don't see no rainbows not aroused
Not excited feeling sleepy
She bows right in front of me
She bows right in front of me
Listening to voices
That keep telling me
To lift my head To lift me head
Dead fox across the road
Four rockets storming up
(PIANO & GUITAR INTRO)

Lyrics are copyright 1977, Steve Cash
I met a fox the other day.
When I asked how much she cost, I had to pay.
All of a sudden I'd brought her home.
She's one hundred kilos dressed in silverchrome.
She's my world, she's so rad.
She's the best ride I've ever had.
She's my world, she's so bad.
She's the best ride I've ever had.
When I imagine me and her.
You know that I get a stand-up fur.
I give her oil, I give her gas,
And get her seat beneath her ass.
Then the turtledoves drive away.
She's secondhand, so what? She's true, she's by my side.
For all I care she's hot, she's a real good ride.
When we go out people stop and stare with jealous minds.
It's OK for me as long as they let her be...
