I'd be amazed if that derails it if I'm honest , to be fair I have no problems whatever the outcome they'll still charge me a kings ransom to watch my Sport.

Ofcom have proven many times they talk the talk but sadly that's about it.

It's not Fox's inaccuracy and bias that's the issue but its corporate governance. There is a federal investigation into the payment made to Laurie Luhn, a former Fox News talent booker who was paid a secret $3.1m settlement for allegations made against former chairman Roger Ailes. The issue is that this payment and potentially others have not been filed with the SEC, as required by law. The Federal probe is also investigating whether the pay-offs were systematically concealed from investors.
New allegations have drawn in other Fox News talent. On Monday, Fox News contributor Julie Roginsky sued Fox News naming Bill Shine (co-president) alongside Ailes and Fox News itself. Roginsky claimed that the company ignored her complaints of harrassment at the hands of Ailes and that Shine retaliated against her. Three black employees have alleged discrimination by Judith Slater, Fox's long-time controller. Fox has dismissed her but the three employees are now suing Dianne Brandi, the channel's top legal officer, as one of the plaintiffs alleged that she complained to Brandi in 2014 but no action was taken then.
There are also fresh allegations of sexual harassment and verbal abuse against presenter Bill O'Reilly, which have resulted in 30 companies pulling advertising from his programme.

Wasn't it the Brexit vote what spurred Mr Murdoch on to revisit his purchase for the remainder of Sky ?

Don't know. Murdoch's plans were not a consideration in my vote; way more important principles than him at stake.


Brexit or remain, I am against him having more interests than he already has in UK media.

This must be one of the longest freeview periods ever!

Does VM Ireland have Really and Drama (these channels will shortly be starting on Sky Ireland with Irish adverts)?
More significantly, so is CSS Drama, which is usually only included in Full House / XL which is frankly laughable.

Thanks, I didn't know that this included CBS Drama.

I agree that its ridiculous that this is in XL/Full House. What VM have been known to do is to move channels lower down the packs but make out that it's a special limited time thing and then keep them there at the end of the period. Let's hope that this is the case here.
