Businesses and Fox News

I can't stand when I am forced to watch Fox News. I am At a car service station and of course they are blasting Fox. So cold outside, but I rather be outside on my iPad than watching that crap.

The university was "donated" televisions. Hundreds of them.
In exchange the televisions could only be on 2 channels. Either the local cable news(New England Cable News), or the channel designated by the donator.
After a few years, the local TV new was no longer allowed.

I am beginning to think that Fox, or more likely Rupert, has donated televisions to Hospitals, doctors offices, Airports, etc; anywhere that has a captive audience who sits and waits.

And there lies the huge ratings difference. Captive audience versus choice.
