One down, RT to go.

As much as it personally pleases me to discover that Fox News has stopped broadcasting in the UK, I can't help but feel that this is only a temporary move whilst they try to get the Sky buyout through, an attempted bribe rather than a business decision. I get the feeling that Fox News will be back on UK screens before too long.

I don't understand how this is fantastic?

All news outlets are biased, whether it is subtle or not. Having as many ones of them as possible at least exposes us to different ways of looking at the world and different opinions.

Anyhoo, 2,000 viewers a day. I always thought it would be in the tens of thousands, for some reason.

Does anyone know how to get a run-down of the average number of viewers across all news networks in the UK? An awful lot of money is spent on Al Jazeera, RT, TRT and France 24. I wonder how much bang they get for their buck.

Lyngsat shows they're on Astra 1 and Hotbird too - are they also ceasing? If not, I wonder if they're uplinked from elsewhere in Europe so they won't have the pesky Ofcom code to worry about.

It's already gone from the Sky EPG.

Will be very telling to see how Fox does or does not follow suit in other territories like Australia.

It must be fibered there's no satellite downlink in Europe also Sky Italia gets fox business channel.

I was going to suggest they put FBN on there as a replacement, but some of their output is as biased.

The Astra 1M broadcast is part of a Spanish subscription service, Movistar+. Nothing to do with the old Sky analogue, if that's what you was thinking.

With people like Lou Dobbs and the Englishman Stuart Varney, FOX Business Network is as right wing pro-Trump as the FOX News Channel.

For those who want FOX News check YouTube as there is usually a live stream available.

Sky Germany does not carry FOX News, but Sky Italy has both FOX News and FOX Business no doubt with a miniscule audience.
