There goes the neighbourhood!!

No more can Bingo and Cowperson tell Lanny that we don't even get Fox News in Canada when he tries to pin something on us.

Columnist Don Martin in the National Post reveals Fox News is already fully available on Parliament Hill but apparently too scary for other Canadians to view.

But it does appear the too-hot-to-handle news network is finally poised to find an unfiltered home on the Canadian television guide.

The most compelling hint this could be the year of the Fox came from my sharp-eyed editor, who noted channel spot 506 on his satellite service has been reserved for 'Fox N.' A Bell Canada spokeswoman admits it's a channel marker laid down in anticipation of CRTC approval.


A cable association president predicted FOX may be in Canada before the new year but not in time for the USA election.

The column notes that in Canada, CNN outdraws Newsworld by a three to one margin while in the USA, Fox is more popular than CNN.
