It's a false capitalization. Back in the TV listings days, Aaron made it quite clear to me that Fox was a name, not an abbreviation, and so should not be FOX. Not counting the logo at the top, Fox's Web page does not use all caps. But people are accustomed to ABC, NBC, CBS, etc., so they follow their habit. It's like when folks waiting for elevators press the button repeatedly, even though that no longer serves any purpose, as elevators don't have operators and bells anymore. Learned behavior. But I digress.
