FOX National News?

Just a quick question, I know FOX has it's own local news affiliates, but does it actually have its own nightly news broadcast what like NBC, CBS and ABC have? Or is it just the FOX News Channel?

No the only national show on the network is Fox News Sunday

There are also special reports/newsflashes on Fox Broadcasting using Fox News Channel anchors when required, and likewise they use FNC anchors to do Fox Broadcasting's own coverage of major events such as election night

I don't think Fox has any interest in producing news programs for Fox Broadcasting. That ship sailed years ago. Instead, they've encouraged their affiliates to extend their local newscasts to be the same duration of the network shows of the big three. Besides, they already have Fox News Channel, and while most of it is garbage on there, the Fox Report, which airs around the same time as the network evening newscasts in most markets, isn't terrible and is as close to a straightforward newscast as you will find from Fox News. Fox News also has the Fox News Edge wire service, which feeds national reports and packages to local affiliates to be aired in their local newscasts if they choose to.

Plus, Fox Broadcasting is very different from the big three in that they only occupy two hours of programming a day (their 2-hour primetime block) from their affiliates. CBS, NBC, and ABC all have their respective morning news/entertainment programs, talk shows and soap operas in the afternoon, the evening news, the 3-hour primetime blocks, the late night talk shows, and overnight newscasts. Affiliates of the big three networks are in turn left with very few hours to program themselves in comparison to Fox affiliates, which are virtually independent networks for all but two hours a day. Fox would have to pay their affiliates more in order to buy more time to air a nightly newscast. It was a similar situation when NBC fired Conan O'Brien, and there was a big push for him to take his show to Fox and have it be aired after the late local news. From my understanding, Fox Broadcasting was willing to do it, but that timeslot is occupied by the affiliates, almost all of whom air syndicated programming under contract. If Fox had forced their affiliates to air Conan instead, all of the affiliates would have had to void their contracts to air the off-network sitcoms, reruns, and talk shows that were already airing in those timeslots. It would be the same thing if Fox were to force their affiliates to run a national newscast in the dinner hour. The affiliates likely would not be happy giving up their own local timeslots.
