SC>> I thought Fox was a pretty big network about now. I don't have
 SC>> cable tv, but we have a Fox 8 and a local Fox 53 that I can watch
 SC>> with an attenna. So they own those 2 stations along with the Fox
 SC>> News on cable. Sounds pretty good to me.

 RY> Sharon, how it works is there's Fox Network (the large company) that
 RY> owns a few large-market television stations, but provides programming
 RY> to local, smaller stations across the country. they are known as
 RY> Affiliates, as opposed
 RY> to the "Owned and Operateds" (O&O's). That's what a
network is, a
 RY> banding
 RY> together of small stations for nutual gain. Newscorp, which owns Fox
 RY> among many other things (like mewpapers,and broadcastin companies here
 RY> and in Europe and Australia) is a giant Empire, well diversified.

I forget what they call it from my college days, but what happened to the law
that says that one person/company can't own more than a certain amount of
radio, tv stations or newspapers. I think that went out of the window a long
time ago. Everything is turning into a monopoly and nobody is stopping it.
