Quebecor Not Even Confident About Fox News North Being Offered On Its’ Own Cable Provider?

I just caught Sandra Dee Crux’s post. She’s just livid, I tell ya! Livid!  Apparently, some cable providers are hesitant about carrying the new Fox News North.   That’s what’s gotten ol’ Sandra Dee’s knickers in a bunch.  It also appears that ol’ Chuckles Adler, who apparently is just dying to go on the big tv screen, is calling for folks to boycott their service providers if they’re not planning to carry the channel.

Just for the shear hell of it, I called my provider, Videotron, to find out if they were going to offer the new Sun TV News.  I don’t know why I would get that idea, after all, Videotron and FNN are both owned by Quebecor, it should be assumed that Videotron would carry it.  Well, apparently not so fast. The customer service rep told me that ‘they were still in negotiations with the owner of the channel’. Huh?  Don’t tell me Pierre Karl Peladeau doesn’t even have confidence in his own channel to be profitable for his own cable provider?  That’s fuckin’ hilarious!

    I emailed my cable provider weeks ago and told them I will CANCEL IMMEDIATELY if FoxNewsNorth is part of any news package, I’m forced to buy. I would advise like minded people to do the same, these companies take this stuff seriously, particularly if you mean it!

  • They’re in negotiations with themselves? Haha.

    Yeah, I thought that was pretty hysterical myself. It’s definitely a keeper!

    Fox will be Harper’s personal propaganda machine. I heard this quite some time ago. The CBC are not going to get the funding, Harper wants them gone. Harper will go on with, his Global Governance plot for Canada. Harper really needs a biased media, to propagate his plan.

    We have always known, Campbell works for Harper. Now Christy Clark has a Conservative strategist working for her. So we have two Conservative party’s in BC? Really seems that way.

    Harper is now meeting separately, with each of the opposing party’s, regarding the budget. Harper is rabid to stay in office. Layton had capitulated with Harper’s giving huge corporations, ANOTHER tax reduction. I expect Layton will capitulate again, to Harper’s budget, I have already written Jack Layton right off. The Bloc will support Harper’s budget, if they get $2.5 billion for their HST. Quebec also want a new arena. Ignatieff says, Harper is spending like a drunken sailor. However, I am sure he will capitulate too. It is said, the huge corporations, are going to be the Global Governance. Even with two Conservatives held in contempt by the House of Commons, will change nothing. Harper will get away with that too.

    Even here in BC. The media supports Campbell and his Liberal’s, no matter how corrupt Campbell has been. Harper really needs a media, he can dictate to.
