Triumph of FOX BUSINESS CHANNEL?

Despite the hype that it's being carried by cable systems like Time Warner, TW refuses to carry it here in West Hollywood even though their promotional material claims they will. I have been informed that if and when they do carry it we will have to pay a surcharge for it. So much for FOXNews market research. And I always knew that TW was a piece of shit.

Fox is also involved with the "Big 10" sports cable channel, an undertaking so badly thought-out that it's turned Comcast into a hero for NOT running it.

Seems the Big 10 wants it carried on the standard (not sports premium) tier, and they want $2 per subscriber for it. Comcast said "no way." The Big 10 has been whining, trying to get local politicians to intervene, but folks smell a rate hike if it happens, and have started calling it the "Big 10 tax." Not too bright.
