not referring to the bundling to customers)


if a cable provider wants FOX, then it probably has to take FOX Business, FOX Sports, and whatever else is bundled with it.

So probably a lot of Americans get it . . . but probably have never watched it.

8. Business wants facts, not propaganda and lies. "Fox Business News" is a double oxymoron.

19. just sayin' it is on people's channel lineup - not encouraging anyone to watch it

channel bundling(not selling individual networks to the provider) is hurting a lot of little local providers . . . but it is becoming a way of life. Without it, no provider would have FOX Business in it's lineup.

Sure, for the most part debates this early are ignored by the general population of voters. This one won't even be a blip on their radar since it's so obscure.

Its bundled in our satellite package but never have watched it.
