In reply to the discussion: My (apparent) little victory over Fox "News"! [View all]calimary
(81,253 posts)58. SUPERB work, MarianJack!
Another tiny bit of the world saved! I did that at my neighborhood bank. Complained and complained again when I'd go in there and see that damn channel on their monitor. Finally, one day - CNBC! I commented on that, too - thanked them for changing the channel. They said they'd had complaints. I don't know if there were any other complaints than mine, but I DO know, it got changed. Who cares how? All I know is, I'm as Machiavellian as the next guy, and I'll always try to do what I can. ANYWHERE I am that I can, if I see Pox Noise on somewhere, I will try to get the channel changed.

Never been in Maine, but sending you a hearty thank you! Whenever I hear FNN on a store TV, I fuss.

That applies to canned music, not broadcast programming. The stations pay those fees.

"rules from headquarters" - does fox pay companies to do this? Serious question.

I quit my gym because Fox was on in front of the treadmills and elipticals constantly.

Thank you. I did the same once at Red Lobster. They changed to sports.
