Interesting. Do you think FNC might launch a separate international 24/7 news channel (based in the US) that would compete with CNN International?
I admit I like a lot of the programming currently running on Fox News, but you're right... they are the worst source on cable whenever news is breaking, especially overseas.
Of course they're right there if that breaking news is a car chase. In the U.S. During the day... ;-)
What I do know is there has been an investment of $250 million dollars in remote parts of the world to transfer technology so if breaking news does happen they will be able to have connections lined up. Fox has an international agreement with SKY News so don’t look for an international base just yet...mainly because they air American Fox as it is...they are trying to buy up blocks and contracts that are coming up or being set up for the future in hotels, ships, airlines, airports, bus stations, train stations etc...it is very very tedious and hard work when you have rights on the cheap for something like Headline News HLN to air at half the price.
Their internals are estimating a big global pick up by 2013 however which means we will more than likely be seeing more changes to the network in the next 2 years...as a matter of fact...we might not even recognize how different they plan to become...in a good way.
