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.
