On the list of channels, did the channel "Fox News" change to just "News" a week or so ago? I can't figure out why they would do that...

I did some reading about the situation today. Yeah, they haven't agreed to a contract but you gotta believe they'll hammer something out at the last minute...not all Sirius subscribers are Howard fans and Fox wants to be there as bad as anybody.
I think they're even going to add a channel that features people like Bill O'Reilly, Tony Snow, John Gibson, and Alan Colmes so you gotta believe they'll figure something out to resolve this.
Clearly, if it weren't integrated with my car, this would be a reason to switch to XM...

I like Fox too so I hope they do something.

Well, I, too, noticed the change of the channel identifier from "Fox News" to "News" (which makes sense now). It was only today I discovered that Fox News had actually been dropped on Jan 1.
Because of that I just went out and purchased a modular XM system. And if my Sirius weren't still "free", I'd unsubscribe immediately (I tried, but apparently they don't have a business process to cancel a subscription when it's in a free credited period).

Well, I guess I have a reason to get Sirius Radio. I can't stand FAUX News.
Just like the opinion/editorial page of the New York Times or the Washington Post doesn't represent news, neither do the opinion/editorial shows on TV news channels.
