The Fox Network, which long has been talking about expanding its prime-time programming from two nights to three, has made it official and will add Monday to its lineup come fall. “Fox has come a long way in two years,” Michael Fisher, chairman of the network’s Board of Governors, told network affiliates here over the weekend. “We are undeniably a force to be reckoned with in the industry.” The network now programs prime time on Saturday and Sunday nights. The new Monday lineup has a start date of Sept. 11 and will be chosen from 25 pending projects.
