October 2, 2003 -- FOX officials say they are thinking about spinning off two new channels from Fox News Channel - one for business and another for entertainment news.

Sounds good to me. This way with more outlets for public consumption, Fox News can stick to the business of hard news and leave the fluff to a different channel. A Fox business channel is even a better move.

I don't suppose a news channel for serious, non-sensational news will be in the works anytime soon... sigh.

It's taken a lot of effort, but I can now tolerate Shep.

Steve Doocy, on the other hand, is beyond help.

I kind of get the feeling from him that he's the one jerk at the party who thinks he's smarter and funnier than everyone else.

I thought I was the only one who didn't like Shep-boy!

Exactly -- reminds me of a frat boy in his first on air gig ... should be doing strictly fluff stuff and entertainment, not hard news.

It would improve Fox News to split off a separate Sports Police Blotter Channel.

Get Rita Cosby and Shepard Smith off the news channel. And keep Whorealdo where he certainly doesn't belong?

Forgot him! ;) Never really happen upon his show ... whenever I tune in and catch Shep or Rita I immediately flip over to USA to see if "Law and Order: SVU" is on. :)
