You say "Fox Network". Are you referring to the local Fox affiliate, or The Fox 
News Channel? The Fox News Channel is one of my all-time favorite channels.

Bob:

Similar thing happened to me at the Buick dealer in Minneapolis two 
weeks ago, except the TV was set on Fox network.  I had no idea that TV 
was such irrational nonsense. If I though it would do any good, I would 
write in and tell the FCC that Fox should not be relicensed to broadcast 
when their current license expires.
