“FOX is proud to support the #SeeHer movement and its continuing mission to promote gender equality, as well as highlight the incredible achievements of our female first responders through our “She’s a Hero” initiative,” said Marianne Gambelli, President of Ad Sales for FOX. “Across the country, we continue to see the brave contributions that our first responders and front-line workers are making throughout our communities, and I am proud we can use the FOX portfolio to honor and celebrate their remarkable and vital work.”

The activations for the “She’s a Hero” initiative will include:

FOX will highlight the amazing achievements of real-life female first responders with a thematic, custom- produced, spot that will air on March 8 in a FOX Fast Break during an original episode of the hit drama 9-1-1. Starring Angela Bassett, who also serves as an executive producer of the network’s popular 9-1-1 franchise, FOX’s #1 scripted series draws from real life, high pressure experiences of first responders. Additionally, FOX will distribute the custom-produced content across the social platforms of the 9-1-1 series.

SeeHer member L’Oréal Paris has signed on to partner and support the custom content that will air in the FOX Fast Break and across the 9-1-1 social platforms.

The beauty brand’s signature philanthropic program, Women of Worth is calling on Americans across the country to nominate an everyday hero they know for a chance to be named one of ten 2021 Honorees. Each woman will receive $20,000 to fund their charitable endeavors, a national platform to share their stories and an opportunity to build a network that will create an even greater impact in the community they serve. Nominations close April 30.

“FOX Entertainment has built its reputation on telling diverse stories and bringing the underrepresented to the forefront,” added Suzanne Sullivan, EVP of Ad Sales for FOX Entertainment. “The characters and programming that air on FOX introduce perspectives and lifestyles that are not often seen in media and give a voice to those who are excluded from the conversation. 9-1-1 is the perfect series to align this custom content, and we’re proud to partner with L’Oréal Paris to help celebrate female first responders.”

“We are delighted to partner with FOX to further advance our mission of accurately portraying women and girls in marketing, advertising, media and entertainment, so they can see themselves as they truly are and in all their potential,” added Nadine Karp McHugh, president, SeeHer. “Now more than ever with research revealing that women are taking the brunt of the pandemic and with the majority of essential workers being female, it is crucial that we see her and celebrate all of her contributions. Programs like 9-1-1 and the real-life stories they are telling through this effort represent a great example of shining a light on authentic real-life heroes.”

Additionally, FOX will further amplify its “She’s a Hero” initiative and distribute the custom produced content celebrating the work of real-life female first responders across FOX Sports and FOX News Media.

The updated sitcom starring Roseanne Barr returned Tuesday, more than two decades after the original ended its hit run. The hour-long debut episode was watched by 10 percent more viewers than saw the May 1997 finale of ABC’s original “Roseanne.”

That’s impressive, given the explosion of alternate platforms and series since then and compared to other successful sitcom reboots.

For its freshman year, NBC’s show is averaging 5.7 million people watching episodes on the day they air. But with the time-shifting viewership that networks are focusing on, its audience averages 9 million per episode over a seven-day period.

Another promising sign for “Roseanne” was the estimated audience growth from the first half-hour (18 million) to the second (18.9 million), a sign that viewers liked what they saw. Future episodes are a half-hour, airing at 8 p.m. EDT Tuesday.

The revival had a coat-tail effect for the ABC shows that followed, significantly boosting viewership for “black-ish” and helping to launch the new Jenna Fischer-Oliver Hudson comedy “Splitting Up Together.”

Barr is back as the matriarch of the Conner family, with other returning cast mates including John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert, Michael Fishman and Lecy Goranson.

The family is grappling with new sets of personal issues and political realities: Roseanne embraces President Donald Trump, her sister Jackie (Metcalf) is a staunch opponent, and the two are at odds.

Barr says she thought it was important to show how the Conners deal with the same issues that many American families currently face.

“It shows people’s different opinions and how they resolve them,” Barr, who counts herself as a Trump supporter, said at the show’s New York premiere Monday.

“I saw it happening in all the families I know, so I thought, ‘Well this is, you know, it’s good, hopefully it will get people talking to each other.’”
