Fox Box
The Fox Box is a partnership between FOX Broadcasting and 4Kids Entertainment. It is Fox's newest Saturday morning programming block, targeting kids and tweens since they disbanded Fox Kids due to financial issues. The term is a combination of FOX and the box (i.e. TV). Most of the shows that are aired on the Fox Box are licensed shows by 4Kids, anime, family/children's shows from other nations or states, except for Stargate Infinity, and Pirate Islands.
Specials have also been broadcast; for example UltraDay, featuring Ultraman Shows.
Fox Box is now available in many parts of the world.

Fox Box was also Fox Television's term for the chyron used during Fox's sports broadcasts of baseball and the National Football League, among others, which displayed the score of the game and other real-time information (time left in period/baseball inning, football down and yards-to-go, whether anyone was on a base in baseball, speed of baseball pitches, etc.) in the upper left corner of the screen during the game. For baseball broadcasts, it would be turned off when something really important happened (Mark McGwire's record-breaking 62nd home-run in 1998, the last out of the World Series, et cetera). In 2001, Fox discontinued the box in favor of a header that covers the very top of the screen which provides the same information.
