That's good news. Both entities should benefit from this, and that's the way it should be.
Is this the show that used to be on CNBC? It was cancelled on cnbc shortly after I found it. Stuart Varney, who is now on foxnews, used to host the show.
Kewl
Same one, yep.
I am delighted to hear this.
I'm thrilled to see this show moving over to FNC.
I was just thinking the same thing. PBS claims to provide the most public affairs programming in one place.
Great news!
Thanks for the heads-up. This is an excellent program, and now a lot more people will see it.
Hopefully it will bump Shepard Smith. He's like watching E-Entertainment TV.
I'm down to Brit, selected O'@sshole segments, and John Gibson if I get home early.
Can't keep their fingers in the old dyke any longer.
Wonderful news, Paul Gigot is so cute.
"I'm down to Brit, selected O'@sshole segments, and John Gibson if I get home early."
wow... someone else who thinks that Fox's programming is, at best, uneven? Their life Katrina coverage really bit the weenie... in fact, CNN was far suprior in Katrina coverage ESPECIALLY since they dumped the lib slant in the first few days.
The one thing that MUST go on Fox is that "wham" sound deal for their "breaking news" which, of course, isn't breaking at all. Totally annoying.
Does this mean the FOX is going to start moving back to the right? FOX has been doing more left turns than Tony Stewart lately. I've just about given up on them.
