Declaring war on a corpse isn't terribly impressive.

This means more discussions (and video clips) of Victoria's Secret's financial performance with Neal Cavuto. YEH!!

Fox needs to make their news channel more watchable on the weekends and stop shutting the lights off from 11 pm to 6 am during the week with re-runs. They need a program from 11-1 and then Sky News or some sports and business programming overnights. Such a waste of time they have on their hands. They could do so much more than replaying The Factor 3 times, Hannity and Colmes 2 times, and Greta and Cavuto over again. CNN and MSNBC go live at 5 am...Fox stays sleeping til 6.

How hard is it to come on an hour earlier and beat the competiton even then?

I think Fox should launch a 'Headline News' channel like CNN's Headline News. They would win that too.

Fox News Wants To Be The King Of All Media. Howard Stern will no longer have a corner on the title. GO FOX!!!

Is Headline News doing well? What is their primary audience? Any insights?

Was thinking the same thing.

Why even bother.

How many 'business' cable channels does a cable outlet need?

Next, FoxNews will be trying a headlines channel????

One is enough; two is too many.

CNBC has the perfect pair for a business "H&C" program. I hope they jump.

See that green arrow, and the 4.15 number on this photo?

I think they are underrating that woman. I give her at least a 7.5.

I like Neal. And I hope to see more of Stuart Varney if Fox goes through with this new channel.

If you convert bra cup sizes to numbers to numbers, that would be just over D.

Aw c'mon. I KNOW you would pay them more than that! Hell Laz, you offered 20 dollars for the "red head" last week!

If Fox market news only gives one side of a story like their Sat. AM market news gig, then they won't be terribly reliable. Staunch Republicans may watch bull market cheerleading but Wall Street types (and those looking for hard market news) won't find it particularly useful.

The bid appears for the 'pair' seems to be in the bottom right-hand crawl line. I think you're outta luck.
