Hey, Fox, let well enough alone. Don't start screwing around trying to improve on something that is near perfect.

Good for Fox, maybe they are getting the message that a lot of dont give a rats arse about Kobe, Bennifer and Laci.

I agree...the business network field is already crowded, with CNBC, CNNfn, Bloomberg and the rest. Neal Cavuto surged to the head of the pack because he offers a perspective that's different from the talking heads on CNBC or CNNfn, but I'm not sure we need "Cavuto on Business" around the clock. Ditto for entertainment. I watch E! on occasion, and it's watchable for about five minutes before the banality drives me out of my mind. FNC does a good job with the entertainment stuff--particularly Bill McCuddy--but I'm not sure it's enough to build a network around.

A more logical expansion would be a FNC International outlet, bringing the "fair and balanced" approach to a global audience. The western Europeans would sniff, but it would be a ratings winner in places like eastern Europe and Asia. Barring that, I say don't dilute the product, concentrate your resources on crushing CNN and MSNBC once and for all...

Really...Same thought that I had! But if FOX does go ahead with the expansion, I hope they fare better than others.

It isn't though. They need a headline news channel sort of thing. I go to Fox for news, and there's O'Reilly or someone else, so I swallow hard and go to CNBC, then to MSNBC, then CNN.

I'd love for there to be another FNC for just news. Plus, they hire well in terms of hotties. If they don't find an editor with a full set, and insist on running the same stories as the other losers, at least they'll find Laurie Dhue types.
