Fox Reality Gone

[Hemi 6.1]

So how long has Fox reality channel 250 been gone?

Just noticed it today in the guide.

It was dropped this morning. It was replaced with Nat Geo Wild. Nat Geo Wild is on channel 283. I've heard Fox reality is no longer broadcasting and is gone. I guess the reality craze is over.

Thanks.

Well atleast my SD receivers finally got a channel!

Damn Hemi, where have you been sleeping??

This was news a couple of weeks ago

I only started watching that channel this past spring.I enjoyed "The Academy" & and "The Orange County Fire Academy".Those are the only 2 shows I ever watched on FRC.

I noticed a memo thing on the D* receiver letting me know where the channel was located since new channels dont show in the favorites

Miss Fox Reality Channel?
You can watch it on Hulu here: Hulu - Fox Reality
E* has actually had Nat Geo Wild for a while along with the HD version of it.

Are you telling me that D* just added a channel in SD , but NOT HD ?

 

[Hemi 6.1]

Yep I saw it , No mention of Fox reality though.

Just Nat Wild.

Another message on the Guide shows ESPN Classic moved to 614

Thats what it seems.
I wish D* would add both HD and SD when thy add channels, Like it or not Millions of us still have only SD in some rooms.

 

[gadgtfreek]

Contract for the HD side is not worked out yet, contrary to popular belief, the SD and HD contracts are separate in many cases. I'd rather have it in SD, than not it all. I never watched that dumbass Fox Reality.

 

[Hemi 6.1]

I never watched that dumbass Fox Reality.

Agree , we have more then enough channels that play that crap.

I was just wondering why it was dropped.

I guess because I'm not the only one who though it sucked.

 

[gadgtfreek]

Dunno, it musta not done well. Satracer said that Directv was on of the last providers actually broadcasting that channel. Most others had moved to Nat Geo Wild already.

 

[Hemi 6.1]

. Most others had moved to Nat Geo Wild already.

I didn't know Fox reality had anything to do with Nat Geo wild.

Does it?

Fox owns Nat Geo

Shutdown and rebranding to National Geographic Wild

In October 2009, it was announced that Fox Reality Channel would be discontinued on most providers on March 29, 2010 and re-branded into an American version of National Geographic Wild.[2][3][4][5]Also on that date, the channel's old website was taken down and redirected to its archived programming on Hulu.com, as well as National Geographic Wild's new site. National Geographic Wild was launched on Dish Network on April 19, 2010.[6] However, Mediacom failed to reach a carriage deal for National Geographic Wild and is still broadcasting Fox Reality Channel. DirecTV ceased carrying Fox Reality Channel on June 30, 2010 at 6:00 AM EDT, and began carrying National Geographic Wild.
