the press conference.

1. Fox News or Fox Broadcasting?

Fox Broadcasting is the one that wasn't going to - and they still aren't.
Fox News always was.

[Drunken Irishman]

2. Simpsons here...

I think it was left up to the local affiliates.

[babylonsister]

3. Not running here. nt

[JuniperLea]

4. Stupid flip floppers:)

Sorry, just had to...

[Faygo Kid]

5. Fox News, but not the Fox Network.

Which was how it was announced.

What a farcefest their post-press conference "analysis" by O'Reilly and Hannity is gonna be.

6. Denver is running the Simpsons

:eyes:

[jillan]

7. And guess who is going to do the after show?

Yep - KO's favorite person :puke:

[MadBadger]

8. They didnt back down, Fox News was always going to show it. Fox Broadcasting isnt

And they still arent.

[cali]

10. well, my fox broadcasting network is showing it

as well as Fox news, but then this is Vermont.

[LiberalFighter]

9. I'm surprised the local FOX network is broadcasting.

[emilyg]

11. Fox News.

12. I don't think the network backed down -- I think individual affiliates chose to carry it

Individual network affiliates have the right to preempt network programming. A number of fox affiliates chose to do so. But the principal network feed, as I understand it, was the regularly scheduled programming

13. Exactly.

My area's Fox affiliate WGHP did air it. Many reasons for them doing so here: 1) excellent signal covering the area, 2) strong local news operation for many years (station was previously ABC but Fox bought it) 3) local competitors WFMY (CBS) and WXII (NBC) were airing it so they kinda "had to". No other stations do local news in our area.

Mark.
