AFTER, Al Jazeera had been up and running for about a year, Rogers cable finally allowed Fox News to broadcast (only on news package stations of course for extra $ from subscribers).
Fox News has been the saving of me. I can't watch any of the other crap. The only exception is Nancy Grace on Headline news, bless her big heart and hair. We pop popcorn for her!
This is cut and paste from the CBC announcement of Fox coming to Canada dated November 18, 2004...note the last paragraph...
"The CRTC rejected a CCTA application to bring Fox to Canada last November because Fox News U.S. and Winnipeg-based Global Television were planning to create Fox News Canada, a combination of U.S. and Canadian news.
However, in March, a Fox U.S. executive said there were no plans to create the combined channel.
The CRTC was thrust into the spotlight in July after giving conditional approval to the digital broadcast of Arab television station al-Jazeera."
See, I wasn't kidding.
