FOX NEWS in HD, when?

FOX Business Network is a Flop!!

Fox Business Network is a flop -- for now.

The News Corp. (NYSE: NWS)-owned cable channel is averaging just 8,000 viewers during the day and 20,000 during prime time, well under the 284,000 viewers who watch CNBC during the day and 191,000 who watch the General Electric Co. (NYSE: GE) network during prime time, according to The Washington Post.

flop

–verb (used without object)
3.to be a complete failure; fail: The play flopped dismally.

FOX BUSINESS IS NOT A FLOP. When launched they said it would take three years to really get their feet wet and take on CNBC. Their actual plan of growth goes beyond a three year plan and they fully expected ratings like these in month 10. How can something that is going as planned be considered a complete failure? If they thought they'd have 200,000 viewers during the day during month 10, then yes, you could call them a failure. But they fully expected it would take time to grow this thing. They fully expected these kind of ratings in month 10. Let's see where they are in another two years, shall we?

It takes a while to get market penetration. You normally cant just introduce a product and expect people to jump ship.

I would say it is a new option in the market and will take time to grow its brand.
