BS: FOX to go away here.

It appears that there will be no more Fox TV in Eastern Idaho beginning July 1.

Fox wants more money for retransmission on the same stations (e.g., from Pocatello to Idaho Falls) of its stuff than the local stations bring in as revenue.

oh darn there goes american idol and bill o'reilly and....

Faux was, is now, and ever shall be only about the money. Facts, decency, verity be damned.

OK- one down, 49 to go.

They want more money? I never thought Pablum needed to be expensive.

Is cable or satellite available in your location? If so, all you need is money to get your daily feeds of Fox.
We get both Fox transmissions here in Calgary (the second is the news and comment channel).

Fox News is awful. Fox network isn't all that bad. It brings us The Simpsons, after all. And in my city, Fox local news is pretty good, too.

One show I've enjoyed on Fox news is "The Five".It's on at 5:00 PM. Four conservatives along with one lone progressive voice of reason - who holds up rather well in that sort of company.

What's an oxymoron? Fox News. This is not to say that the news staff are morons.

The Dallas/Fort Worth station isn't so bad, because until a dozen years ago it used to be a CBS station. For some reason the channels switched networks. The channel staff stayed and the new FOX folks had the old CBS news habits ingrained, so they've stayed a bit above the fray. I don't watch them now so I can't say they still do, but I used to enjoy their morning news program.

Rap, you can get the Simpsons on various web locations and NetFlix and might even be able to stream it from a FOX web site.

SRS

To put it bluntly, I don't watch Fox even when I do watch TV.
