When CommieCast FINALLY added FNC to our line-up a few years ago; they told us that FNC would be added to the PREMIUM package, and that we would have to pay an EXTRA $10 for it. I marched right down to my local ComCast office, got right in their face, and went off like a roman candle: "Why the h*ll was EVERY OTHER news channel part of the basic line-up, but FNC was being relegated to premium service?" I'd been waiting a while for FNC, but d*mned if I was paying extra for it. Got all the customers in the office angry, as well. The women in there practically wet their pants. The Day finally arrived...FNC debuted, and it was on BASIC! Gee...wonder why they changed their minds? :-)
