@RUKidding:

Cody, that’s a good one. News Corp sold alot of its kids properties with the Family Channel, though.

I could see FX getting a TBS/TNT split, where a new channel gets the sitcoms.

Robert, thanks. “The delivery has exceeded our expectations, and has been greatly expanding over the past year,” indeed.

I think that’s where the Fox Business Channel is headed (never seen it, but it has Imus and Stossel… so far).

“what kind of programming is left for FOX to try? what kind of programming is left for FOX to try?”

My guess– another Fox News Channel, FNC2. The second channel would focus even more on commentary programming. The ratings for O’Reilly, Beck, and Hannity demonstrate the thirst for commentary programming. Shows for Ingraham, Levin, Miller? Maybe even a big splash with a return to TV for Rush Limbaugh, or “The Sarah Palin Show.”

No, I’m not kidding, I’m merely speculating.

I was wondering that — the extra households would be great, but what kind of programming is left for FOX to try? It already decided to flip the Reality channel to another NatGeo, and the Soccer channel averages what, 20,000 viewers?
