At the bottom of the page and everywhere else, FX is all caps and has been ever since Tom Bergeron, Bob the Puppet, Jeff Probst and Jack the Dog left the channel. The rule seems to be that Fox the network(s) is all caps and Fox the studio is upper/lower (including the Fox 21 production company logo). Of course, the press follows their own beliefs (and Aaron told me when I was doing the Ticker that he didn't want to see "The WB" or "The CW"--either "WB/CW" or "the WB/the CW"). And there are still some press that put that hyphen in between "VH" and "1," even that it's been over 10 years (and close to 15) since the hyphen was taken away (I don't think I will call the channel "vh1" or "Vh1," though). -- TV or Not TV ....
