Let's say that Harry Coyle's style gets passed down to the next group of directors.
And sooner or later, Fox seems to influence everyone else--probably NBC would've eventually become Foxified. Even Ebersol gave up on score boxes eventually. And over in another division, everyone else started doing constant lower thirds after Fox News Channel hit big--and this was more Rupert's Australian consultants than Ailes, because fX in its "TV Made Fresh Daily" days and Fox's owned stations were doing it before FNC--and no one was imitating them (and in Chicago, WFLD stopped doing it very quickly). What AIles brought to the concept was using them as message-bolsterers to whatever dogma he and Bill Shine was/are sending out for the day.
