I have enjoyed Fox News live stream on my PC for quite some time, until yesterday (12/21/14) when much to my surprise it was replaced by The Blaze. This morning started out with Infomercials followed by Glen Beck radio...........all this on the FoxNews URL.
Has anyone else experienced this or have seen/heard news of Fox News discontinuing their live stream or changed location?
Hadn’t heard, but The Blaze is a good network. Radio or TV?
Fox News has their own streaming video it is on:

Fox and Dish Network are in an argy bargy over pricing. It’ll clear up as soon as they agree.
Dish subscriber? Same fight they had with Turner not long ago when CNN and more importantly TCM were missing.
Does Dish Network supply your internet service? If so, the contract between Fox and Dish expired. I know on TV they replace FNC with The Blaze TV
I cannot believe Fox would have allowed that to happen for very long.
Why do people think they can just lift a channel and stream it for free?
probably the same people who tap into phone lines, cable lines, and water pipes and think it is OK.
Same thin here -though it seems that was a live stream from someone using a sat feed, Dish I believe. Alternative site:

(Keep it quiet, eh? Just in case).
Only reason someone should describe to Dish is if
1. Indian and need your Bollywood fix
2. Can’t get a clear line of site to Directv satellites.
I really can’t think of any other good reasons. Ergen is almost tied with the Dolan’s for worst television providers in the country.
That site does not work for everyone. FoxNewsGo has never worked satisfactorily here. First it requires some sort of ‘special’ login to see it, and second, of the few people I know that manage to find some sort of login to get on, there is only a blank frame displayed with no apparent vid there.
Fox ,like others wants Dish to raise the home users rate and Dish says NO is the arguement
Tell everyone which sat(s) and feed(s) are available and I along with many others will hook up ASAP.
Dish and Direct are scrambled feeds, so no help there. The online feeds are a great help for those of us who can not see certain desired “Networks” (like FoxNewsChannel) any other way.
The Blaze is good replacement, either temporary or permanent.
I think Charter Communications beats Dish for worst cable/internet provider. They have captive audiences in key areas so people have either some times Dish or Charter only. The interesting thing is that Comcast and Charter are swapping about 6 million subscribers to consolidate their footprints and after that some people will have a better choice. I think Charter will continue to shrink.
Remember, this is the company that blew thru many billions of Paul Allen’s money, went into bankruptcy, then hired Cablevision’s nearly entire executive staff after they ran that company into the ground, then got tossed out of the Comcast/Time Warner merger for being incompetent boobs, then also lost bids for other cable providers.
Not to mention, this “SpinCo” joint venture with Comcast is designed not to make Charter a more desirable company, but to weaken it to the point it will be on its knees and ready for a hostile takeover by Comcast. Comcast knows the executive staff at Charter is having internal strife (VPs have already started resigning) and will eventually do itself in just like it did at Cablevision.
I know people have issues with Comcast but Charter and Cablevision are just two nasty companies, internal and external. They need to go.
Not that this excuses their theft. As for it happening for long - pretty much any channel you can imagine is being streamed by someone somewhere, likely by dozens. Wouldn't surprise me if some channels have an agreement with uStream and similar services at this point, just quicker than chasing down each and every stream.

Thanks... Can’t seem to find FoxNews there yet, but I’ll keep on looking.
