what’s depressing is that Fox News was pulled off air in the UK suddenly at the end of August, with a very weak - and possibly fake - excuse, just as Hannity was getting deeper into the uranium one scandal.

that leaves UK without any MSM that is pro-Trump, even to the extent Fox is.

no way do I believe it was pulled because of poor viewer numbers. there are cable channels getting almost no viewers that never pull out.

Sky stopped broadcasting the US television network in the UK from 4pm on Tuesday...

The source said that Fox News had about 2,000 average daily viewers. The costs of distributing the US network in the UK meant it was not in 21st Century Fox’s commercial interests to continue, the source added.
However, figures from the Broadcaster’s Audience Research Board (Barb) suggest that Fox News’ average UK daily viewing figures were nearly 60,000 per day this year...
