"There are 7.2 million homes total in Canada with basic cable. Rogers boasts about 675,000 digital households. Many cable and satellite services don't even carry Fox.

They do not want to carry FNC!!!

They fear FNC will trounce their news channels (which are pure garbage.

Because until very recently it was ILLEGAL for them to carry Fox News.

All lies from the Star. Shaw, StarChoice and Cogceco in addition to Rogers have picked up the FNC, with more companies adding it monthly. Also, exactly what Bill said regarding the amount of FNC viewers was "I guess were on in about 7 or 8 million homes" which is true. All those companies viewer added together is exactly that amount. Bill did his homework on that one.

The cable and sattelite services in Canada do not own the news channels. If they don't carry it, it's probably because they don't see an audience for it. Personally, I couldn't care less if I ever get to watch FNC - I don't watch CNN or MSNBC, or NewsWorld (CBC's news channel) or CTVNews, anyway, not because I hate biased news coverage but because I get all my (important) news on the internet.
