With Hume and Gibson both in their 60s, I'm sure the basic FNC lineup in 10 years will be somewhat different. And don't dismiss the launch of other Fox news channels besides Business!

(or at least the first to be successful) When Hemmer was on American Morning (about as different from F&F as you can get) he was terrible with NO personality and dry jokes.

Because it's going to be a tough sell to convince someone who's watching Lost or CSI or something to watch O'Reilly or Greta instead. It's just a little confusing to me.

My guess is Bill Hemmer joining Gretson with Steve Doosy remaining as the Weather man and Kilmeade as the sports guy. More of a Today Show format by Jan. 2007 with a more serious news format.

As he said, who would have thought 10 years ago that FNC would be the ratings leader by a longshot. I'm still impressed that Geraldo is beating both NBC nightly news and CBS evening news in the NYC market (18-49 demo). Why not go after the big guys?

I personally have been unimpressed with the changes I have seen this week.

Some cynics may dismiss his new goal as being quixotic, but watch out. Ten years from now, we may all be surprised to see that realities have matched his dream.
