Seems far too expansive to just an entire network from limited experiences as a relatively junior employee.

Unless you've worked at multiple shops at a senior level where you can identify from a larger conglomerate-level serious things you don't like, just find a place you don't hate and pays well. When you're ready, keep it moving on to the next great gig.

So I recently started a position with Fox. When it was presented to me in interview, I was told I would be working aligned with Fox Sports & Entertainment, not so much News.
