I prefer foreign ownership than more Murdoch....  took it right from under their noses they did too

I agree,Debra. I wonder if CBS will improve the programming or leave it in the FBO* category with the other 2 commercial stations.

*For Blockheads Only.

the only channel 10 program i watch is 'have you been paying attention'

guess i'm why they have been losing money.

I was reading before that lots of 10's programs are from CBS.. survivor is one and the Bold and the beautiful is another

will post a link later... But my hope is that we get a litte more diversity in the meda rather than having more of the same

[davidc4430]

maybe instead of endless reality shows they could put on a sunday night movie that hasnt been shown 500 times allready?

we seem to get the same dozen movies on a constant loop.

Murdoch denounced his Australian Citizenship so anything he buys in Australian is foreign ownership.

"In 1981, Murdoch bought The Times, his first British broadsheet, and became a naturalized U.S. citizen (and as a result, gave up Australian citizenship) in 1985 to satisfy the legal requirement for U.S. television ownership"

 It is also a big whammy for the Murdochs as Channel Ten buys a lot of its programs from Fox.
