You can be a foreign entity and own networks, particularly cable networks,
but you cannot be a foreign entity and have majority control of station
licensees. There's nothing that could've stopped Murdoch from starting Fox
as a network, but buying off Metromedia's stations made him a station owner

"Civil" doesn't necessarily mean warm and fuzzy when it comes to the
judges' critiques, but it is very far from the sort of competitive reality
TV where the participants say "I'm not here to make friends." The drive

According to a sep
Like many others I so love this show - though have only seen up to season
3, and am looking for where to see season 4. Did not know they had already
done season 7 and shown 6 on PBS.
