That's because FOX is in such demand. It's a way the cable company can make more money. They'll get it, too.

Dish Network charges more for FOX, and people still pay for it.

FOX is getting huge!

It's the ONLY reason I subscribe to the top 100 instead of the top 50 package.

Fox news has lost its charm. Maybe its me, but its hard to say what differentiates itself from any other newscast.

Okay, the chicks overall are leggier, but the screen is messy and distracting, the sound effects are distracting, the
liberal guests never stay on topic, O'Reilly complains about school kids having their own prom party, but lets the
ball drop on the California Bar not disciplining its members, and its fixation on never ending taloid stories - "tonight, we waste
your time with the pre pre pre too early discussion of the trial that's a year away...). One show and slot should be
enough, but even H&C has to cover that stuff too.

They dump Tony Snow for Chris Wallace. I heard Wallace Friday doing a weekly promo thing on a radio show.
He was still arrogantly trying to defend not doing the Kerry-Polier story. Reminded me of the stories about Dan
Blather not mentioning Chandra Levy and the Congress Critter. It is quite telling when the non-coverage of a
story creates more of a story than what should have been covered, even it only touched upon.

Other than the legs, why pay more for FNC?

Heck, I've started to put on Scarborough as background.

Exactly my take on this...taking it out of their "basic" cable, they can make a fortune from subscribers.

Follow the money.....................

Of course it sounded like the DU throwback was trying to say Comcast was dropping FOX for other reasons...but we know better.
