COMCAST To Carry FOX’S Planned Business News Channel

(From Cynopsis/The New York Times)

While nobody is saying for sure whether or not NEWS CORP. will actually launch a new business news channel, RUPERT MURDOCH has secured a carriage deal for it on the COMCAST digital tier.

THE NEW YORK TIMES reports that while NEWS CORP. has not made a final decision to definitely launch the FOX NEWS CHANNEL spinoff, last month at News Corp.'s annual meeting Murdoch said the channel would definitely go forward in 2007.

Combined with the News Corp. controlled DIRECTTV audience, the new channel could potentially kick off with a subscriber base of 27.5 million.
