XM Radio to Drop Fox Business Network
11/10/2008

Posted on 11/10/2008 2:25:06 PM PST by outfield

I hear that XM is going to move the Fox Business channel from 128 to 136 on Wednesday and then drop it in January. What's their problem? Biased much?

Lol. I doubt it’s being biased. Sat Radio needs all the help it can get right now.

I dropped Fox News permanently from my viewing lineup. Took them out of my surf list altogether. Now I won’t even see them accidentally.

So; what DO you watch?

(IMHO. . .while FoxNews not perfect; it is a whole lot better than ANY alternative Media. The differences are 'night and 'day'. . .

. . .and I still prefer 'day'. . .no matter what time it is.

Probably not biased....most business radio/TV networks fail...they dont bring in an audience.

Most business news is already “old” for those whose job is to keep up on that stuff...so most of their target audience has no use for business news.

Also, you need so much extra programming to fill air time when markets are closed

V E R Y annoying. . .and while some may think her accent has charm; I feel she 'uses' it. . .and it is more than too much. . . 'If you want to be in 'the business'. . .then she should work on it. And of course, her accent is second in annoyance, next to the first. . .her presentation. . .

This thing launched July 14 so it must have been lacking in listerners if it’s being phased out. My selection of stations that I listen to on XM is small but I don’t know how others choose.

Just keep in mind while you watch that Fox News has been neutered and its news filtered.

Forget Fox as a news source:

A TOOTHLESS FOX?

FNC Censors Itself Ahead Of Obama Presidency

Confirming the worst fears of millions of dedicated fans, the Fox News Channel really has gone soft on Obama. That's at a time when viewers are counting on it to remain a key opposition voice during a disturbing political shift away from freedom and prosperity.

According to columnists Rush &am p; Malloy of the New York Daily News, Fox has issued a chilling edict to its hosts that they must cease criticism of Obama for the near future.

Just as I adored the Michigan guard’s name, Dugan Fife, I wasn’t spellbound by his game. In similar fashion, I love the name “Dagen McDowell” but I’m not wild about her. Regardless of her ring size, the term “man hands” comes to mind...

We quit watching FNC altogether too. If they think what they’re offering is news, they need to go back to journalism school.
