If they're competing with anyone, it's themselves.
Furthermore, would Fox have been wise to put
Justified or
Sons of Anarchy on Fox?
The answer is a staunch "No".
Those show wouldn't last a season (if that long) but on Fx, they not only have advertisers but monthly fees that help diffuse the cost of the show, which means that they don't need as much income from advertisers to survive.
