Bright house announced FBN earlier this month in a presser for my area. Yet, when I enter my zip code or Orlando's, I get the form.. What do you expect from the incompetent "bunch" that run Fox' websites? More of the same! I don’t think that zip code box is accurate..

Shorter skirts, full body shots &amp; front-less or NO desks at all. The morning shows will pull all the early "risers" and eager "beavers". Easy as pie. How to make FBN better than CNBC?

An announcement is forthcoming. When you plug in a cablevision zip code into their microsite, it says that FBN will be carried. Cablevision doesn't make announcements of new channels more than a few days before they are ready to add them. They've always done it that way. Cablevision will carry FBN.

Snap out of it!: Don't be so quick to believe that FBN would ever make a play for the tired names and faces at CNBC. That's why they're making a play for Claman: she's hot, smart and isn't the proverbial "face" of CNBC. As for Hoffman interviewing at ABC, probably true because Zucker and company ain't too happy he lost Claman, Insana and Golodryga. Hey gang!

Does this writer even know their history? Cramer had a business show on FNC called "The Street". He got fired, for some sort of shady business involving disclosure vis-a-vis stocks he was pushing on the air...can't remember the details but Cramer is the LAST person I would expect to see on FBC.
