The biggest Problem with Fox (Vanity)
me

Posted on 11/28/2004 3:54:46 PM PST by AVNevis

First of all, I would like to say that I like FOX News and watch it very often.

However, has it occured to any other conservatives that FOX should be doing more news on it's local affiliates? My local station here in Sacramento only has an hour of news a day. Maybe FOX should try to get it's stations to do more local news. One of the reasons I don't watch more of FOX is I need some local news once in a while. FOX doesn't provide that, at least in my market.

I think that they should also put FOX and friends on the network, tape delay for the west coast. It sounds like a good show, but I have only watched it once because it starts at 4AM.

I think the FOX broadcast network and FOX News have very different management...

And they are kind of separated from each other.

Boston's FOX affiliate is completely liberal. They were gleeful for Kerry and all but cried tears when he lost.

Fox News Network and the Fox Television Network are two entirely different entitities.

What I dislike about them, and I mean REALLY DISLIKE. Is how they have the "Fox News Alert" time after time after time throughout the day.

Traditionally when you see an "Alert" on the news its something big, something important.

I can be listening to Fox playing on TV while in the nest room, and hear "We Have a Fox News Alert". I stop what I'm doing and listen to what they are saying just to find out its news about someone in Nebraska getting into a car accident or something....pisses me off to no end.

I agree with okstate that Fox Broadcasting and Fox News have very different management. Out here in the Boston area, the local Fox station, WFXT 25, has the worst local news coverage I've ever seen anywhere. Every time I see an ad for one of their "investigative reports," I cringe. It always sounds something like, "do you use scented toilet paper in your home? Find out how you could be endangering the lives of your children tonight on Fox 25 News at 10!" It's nothing like the caliber of Fox News.

Are you sure? Doug "VB" Goudie of the morning show sure
sounded conservative in his radio days and in the few
times I've seen him on the Fox25 Morning Show (I work
a late shift and rarely get to see it)

The affiliate where I worked was also owned by FTS (Fox Television Stations). They're called O&O's--means they're O-wned and O-perated by FTS. There are O&O's in 27 markets.

Our station did a staggering 6+ hours of locally-produced news A DAY, which is about normal for the group.

I'll admit I'm not the familiar with Fox25's morning show, but their evening news sucks!

Fox cable doesn't do local news..Fox regular channel does in my area of Texas...check your TV Guide for the regular Fox channel...It is just like a network local news report..You won't find local news on CNN or MSNBC either.

There's one main difference between Fox news and Fox network and it can be summed up in one word BRIT

Anyone who remembers Maypo and the commercials for it is certainly dating themselves. Which I just did, of course.
