:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I'm listening to WQXR ("New York Times radio")... on their top-of-the-hour news broadcast, they said that the ratings for FUX's (new) Business Channel were so abysmal, Nielson was not going to release them! The report went on to say that FUX had 6,300 viewers compared to CNBC's 280,000 viewers for the same period!

Boy, does FUX network SUCK or what? :rofl:

3. It's being added to our cable system in a few days.

Not like CNBC is a liberal network, at any rate.

4. I heard those same numbers on NPR this morning!

Of course, wingnuts will push the meme that Fox News lost $500 million in its first 5 years of operation - wait, maybe they don't want to admit that!!

6. Actually, I would expect Faux Business News to be pretty good

Seeing as how the Faux News network has always been so persistently and blatantly fascist-corporatist. It is kind of like getting the latest trends in sin from Satan himself.

7. It actually is well presented

Better than CNBC, IMHO. As I said in the other new thread regarding this, the network is barely on any cable systems yet. A bit unfair to be comparing it to CNBC/Bloomberg/etc.

9. my curious experience walking the trading floors of a major national bank in NYC....

Edited on Fri Jan-04-08 11:49 AM by npincus

I'm not from the business world, not familiar with the trader's tools... was surprised to find almost every person had a dedicated monitor at their desk for cable TV business channel broadcasting... aall were turned to either CNBC or CNN or Bloomberg... NO ONE was watching just-launched FUX! So, either old habits die hard, of FUX Business Channel doesn't get no respect!

:rofl:
