A couple of large corporations are sponsoring a Fox Business Network to focus on smaller enterprises.
Fox Business plans to award three small businesses with $25,000 each and a feature in a special that will stream on Fox Nation. The effort is backed by Comcast Business and J.P. Morgan Chase.
Business owners and customers can submit their favorite small business at smallbusinessawards2026.com starting on Thursday, March 12 through Sunday, March 30. Ten finalists will be identified and voted on by a fan vote online that will take place between Monday, April 13 and Sunday, April 19, followed by a final round of voting by a panel of Fox Business judges.
The panel will include Maria Bartiromo, anchor of Fox Business’ “Mornings With Maria”; Larry Kudlow, who anchors a signature hour at 4 p.m.; Charles Payne, host of “Making Money with Charles Payne”; Brian Brenberg, co-host of “The Bottom Line” and Dagen McDowell, also co-host of “The Bottom Line.
Winners are slated to be announced on-air during Small Business Week starting on Monday, May 4, and will be given an award and an oversized check. Finalists will receive a window decal for their businesses.
Fox Business Network has long sought to play to the intersection of Wall Street and Main Street. But Fox News Media, the Fox Corp. unit that houses the business-news network also keeps an eye on smaller companies. They are among a new category of advertiser that Fox has begun to prize more heavily, seeking out entrepreneurs or former veterans who might espouse patriotic themes. Today’s winner may be tomorrow’s client.
