It appears that Fox temporarily pulled its programming off Sirius when the satellite radio service replaced the Republican's favorite liberal with Alan Colmes with Stephanie Miller. Anyone know anything about this
Fox Pulls Audio - Temporarily - From Sirius
Reuters reports that the Fox News Channel pulled its programming from Sirius Satellite Radio for two hours last week, forcing Sirius to pull the feed from a TV set in order to keep the Fox content on the air.
The problem began Tuesday night when the Alan Colmes radio show didn't stream on Sirius during its normal 10 PM-1AM time slot in favor of a show from Stephanie Miller. Sirius said it was an administrative error, but when Miller again was in Colmes' spot the next night, Fox execs decided it would stop feeding Sirius the Fox News Channel.
"They sort of, unceremoniously and in apparent violation of the contract, took Alan Colmes off," said Fox News Radio Senior VP Kevin Magee. "We figured, if they weren't going to honor the contract, neither were we."
Fox News Channel was off Sirius for about an hour Thursday morning.
Fox's programming deal with Sirius ends at the end of they year. Meanwhile, XM did a deal earlier this month for creating a Fox News Radio Channel next year. <P ID="signature">______________
