Uh here, in america, TV time is not precious, in fact we have so much bandwidth that almost anything can get on the air... Of course, being an ever more socialist government, I'm sure in your neck of the woods, airtime is still a rare commodity.
Sorry Jay but airtime is hardly a rare commodity (except in certain minds). A business applied for and received a license for Fox News Canada. That business chose not to excercise the license, probably for sound business reasons. Now that the business has dissolved and turned in the license, Fox News Channel is now OK'd for carriage. Nothing socialistic about it.
