It may surprise some people, but Fox News existed in 1928. This wasn’t 20th-Century Fox; that came along when Fox Film (started in 1915) merged with Twentieth Century in 1935.

Note the word “synchronized” - the preferred industry term, I gather, for sound pictures. There were many competing processes, and each claimed its own advantages. Says wikipedia:

With the introduction of sound technologies, Fox moved to acquire the rights to a sound-on-film process. In the years 1925–26, Fox purchased the rights to the work of Freeman Harrison Owens, the U.S. rights to the Tri-Ergon system invented by three German inventors, and the work of Theodore Case. This resulted in the Movietone sound system later known as "Fox Movietone."

“The Jazz Singer” was a sound-on-disk system known as Vitaphone; Movietone was sound-on-film. It not only won the format war, it stuck around: the Movietone name was used on newsreels as late as 1979, at least in the UK.
