FNC is a cash cow and demolishes all other cable news channels in ratings wars. Why would Murdoch destror a successful business like this by turning it into a failure like CNN?

He's gambling on winning a worldwide global audience.

Probably, he's also gambling that he can break into the institutional side of the business -- getting shown in airports, hospitals, gyms, etc.

And also gambling that he can lose a few voters stateside without tanking the whole operation.

And gambling that some domestic outfit to the right of FNC won't be professional enough to pull away many US viewers.

All in all, it's quite a gamble.

If that is the case, I won’t be watching any FOX anymore.

You can ask that about a host of things. Book publishing: People who refuse to publish conservative writers who are very popular and whose books sell well. Entertainment Industry: Refusing to recognize a huge swath of the country which will not spend money to support being lectured to on all things liberal and progressive; and, have their own values denigrated at the same time. Thus, losing money for years now.

I have shook my head over these terrible business decisions by these people; but, their politics override any business sense. It makes no sense; yet, it is the world we now live in.

As a business model, it makes sense to keep it as is. Change it, and there's no difference between them and the others, no reason to tune into FNC.

Where the audience would go is anyone's guess. Probably follow the talent. If they make the station more liberal, then the conservative hosts will need to go somewhere else.

FNC WAS a cash cow because it was the only alternative to the left/liberal networks. Many Conservatives, Republicans and, open minded Independents watched FNC. Murdoch’s sons lean left (and apparently the wife of one son a lib) so appears the station will go that route. It has been changing for a while...Marie Harf, former State Dept rep in Obama Admin, now a FNC contributor! Foolish of the Murdoch’s to think that their rich liberal friends will now switch from CNN, MSNBC, NBC, etc to FNC. imho, goal of liberals....including main stream media....complete take down of FNC. And, the Murdoch’s, perhaps unknowingly, may be helping to achieve this goal. FNC was the ONLY news station on my TV. As of last week, I no longer watch FNC; get my news from FR and local station.
