13 years ago today, October 7, 1996, the Fox News Channel went on the air beginning its 24 hour coverage of the world's news. 13 years ago, the competition mocked Fox, but today Fox is the leader in news channels. Most Fox News shows have more viewers than all other competitor network shows combined--usually with hundreds of thousands of viewers left over.
In discussing the anniversary on his radio show today, Rush Limbaugh pointed out that Fox has a show called "Red Eye" that airs each night at 3AM. Red Eye has higher ratings at 3AM than CNN has at 8PM in prime time!
To all of the hard working people at Fox News Channel and its affiliates like the Fox Business Channel, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! As long as you keep bringing us the "Fair & Balanced" programming we have become accustomed to seeing on Fox, you will continue to be our leader in news.

Part of the reason for their success is that Fox has the top personnel in every area: Bill O'Reilly, Shawn Hannity, Glenn Beck, Greta Van Sustern, Neil Cavuto, Dave Ramsey, and many, many more!
Frank,
I guess they were really nice to you the day you were a guest at their studios in NYC.
How many networks have a former Governor who was in office for 11 years as the host of one of their shows?
You won't ever see MS-LSD bringing in a Republican to offer a counter-point to their liberal message, the way Fox always brings in a liberal loon to offer the Democratic opinion to the truth.
Radio legend Don Imus premiered on Fox Business Network yesterday, and according to ratings obtained by Mediaite, the show was a big hit.
