Some of these stations had formerly been a part of the Creator/DuMont Network, which came on the air in TheForties as the nation's third television network. Several problems, like ownership complications, problems keeping talent, and NBC and CBS making sure that they got all the good stations, [[NetworkDeath did it in]] slowly. Creator/DuMont was finished off by the quick rise of [[Creator/AmericanBroadcasting Company ABC]] in 1954 from an also-ran to a money-making also-ran who could hang in there patiently. For the next thirty years, all attempts at creating a fourth television network (not counting Creator/{{PBS}}, which nobody does anyway, since it operates on a completely different business model and doesn't have the same production woes as other networks) were met with little success, and most of the former group of Creator/DuMont stations ended up part of Metromedia, which eventually began to run strong independent stations from TheSixties and into TheSeventies and TheEighties.

This helped accelerate another trend Fox stations were stumbling onto. See, part of Rupert Murdoch's strategy was to program ''just'' [[LoopholeAbuse under the minimum number of hours to be considered a "network" by the FCC, and so avoid numerous restrictions the FCC placed on "networks".]] So rather than program primetime from 8-11 PM like the Big Three networks did, Fox would only program primetime from 8-10 PM. When the New World stations and other former Big Three affiliates switched to Fox, they found that the ratings for their late news surged once they moved from 11 to 10 and weren't competing with the other Big Three affiliates' newscasts (something a number of Fox's charter affiliates had long benefitted from). Soon, virtually all Fox stations, including some that had never had news departments before, were airing news in the 10 PM hour to great success, further cementing Fox's reputation as a peer of the Big Three networks but all but assuring Fox would never program the 10 PM hour itself. Many Big Three affiliates also tried to get in on the action by programming 10 PM newscasts on UPN, WB, or independent stations.
