One poster said he was getting it (audio) via X-band or whatever that radio system is called for 9.95 per month.

Aaron Brown is like watching paint dry. If you're having trouble going to sleep just dim the lights and put him on for about 5 minutes and you'll be out! I think that's why while he was at ABC, he was stuck doing the 2:00 to 5:30 shift for so many years. Back when I was younger, working 2nd shift and too dirt-poor to afford cable, this was the ONLY thing I could get on TV after 1:30 AM...put me to sleep faster than Somminex!

Wesley Clark was with Tim Russert on CNBC. I didn't realize that, but I know he's been on CNN since the start of the war on a nightly basis with Aaron Brown. Here's one article that mentions that: (Wesley) Clark Tanks. Plus, I've seen him myself on CNN every weeknight at least. (I check CNN and MSNBC sometimes during FNC's rare commerical breaks.)
Off-topic, but CNBC's Kudlow & Cramer is a very good show!

I can't take any of the other stations right now. The leftists are almost gleeful as they ask their leading questions of each other.

I agree! I've said it before here on FR, but I think FNC has contributed to my (now) lower blood pressure. LOL ;-D

"Do we have 50 Humvees in the field? No. Maybe you don't need 50 Humvees in the field," said Bill Shine, network executive producer. "Maybe you need good journalists on the air." ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!! I watched CNN for about 10 minutes in the first couple days of this war, and the CNN female talking head was babbling almost incoherently. This was the one at home. She was just awful. I was relieved to turn back to FOX and occasionally do shoot over to MSNBC for some other coverage.
To: Pokey78
Fox was lucky in one respect - when CNN got kicked out of Baghdad.
Fox got kicked out too - but their British counterpart Sky News remained, and Fox has used that association to their advantage.

Whats your problem ,cable is not free. My problem is that I get more than enough free channels from my rooftop antenna and they are all clear as a bell.
I have no need, and no desire for more channels, especially the crap that cable serves up.
But I DO want FOXNEWS channel!!! I just don't want to pay
$550 PER YEAR for it from a cable company, or
$434 PER YEAR for it from a small-dish company.
I wouldn't mind putting up a 3-foot Ku-band dish, fixed on ONE satellite offering FOXNEWS on the KU-BAND and paying an a-la-carte programming service, if FNC went this route.
I'd also pay FNC for streaming video, and get a KU-band satellite internet connection, or a local wireless connection if FNC allowed subscription streaming video.

Yes, screw the Leftists extreme who disguise themselves as critics.
CNN sucks as do all the others except FOX

BTW, I've been doing some stealth FReeping ;-). As I've been moving around town running errands and so forth, I've had some opportunities while in stores and area hotel lobbies (it's a long story that doesn't go with the rest of my post) and quietly change the channel, on the TVs running, from CNN to anything but (FOX if it's available, otherwise MSNBC).
To: Eva
My husband got stuck in an airport a little longer than expected (original flight cancelled) and he said he about lost it having to deal with CNN on all the waiting room monitors. What is it with CNN and the airports in this country? Do they have some sort of deal worked out? Anybody know anything about this? Where can we write letters and complain?!
To: Eva
Wesley Clark has definitely been on CNN a LOT in recent days.
To: NotJustAnotherPrettyFace
I also hate that airports show that liberal recruiting network (CNN)

I don't know, but I have had similar experiences. I remember one time that I made a remark about the slanted coverage, loud enough for the whole waiting area to hear and a lot of people turned around and agreed with me. It made me feel better, at least.

This is the problem:
http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/airport.network/
CNN Airport Network, the only satellite-delivered television service specifically designed for waiting air travelers across the United States, will be available in Kansas City International Airport (KCI)* beginning Saturday, July 20.
Now we have to encourage FoxNews to come up with a competitive product!!!
To: NotJustAnotherPrettyFace
LOL, I've done a little of that "stealth FReeping" of channel-changing here also! Now that I know what channel FNC is on my health club's satellite system, I change at least one of the televisions in front of the treadmills to FNC. It's neat to do a side-by-side comparison of FNC vs. CNN. Even without sound for CNN, I'm turned off by their dour faces. And it appears that CNN has had to run more commericals than FNC has, at least so far during the war coverage.
