Low On Ratings, Fox Business Juggles Daytime Lineup

New York Times:

Viewers of the Fox Business Network -- and it remains unclear how many there are -- may notice a number of changes on Monday.

Some anchors, like Alexis Glick, Stuart Varney and Liz Claman, will get better face-time. Some programs will be broken into one-hour segments to make them seem more focused. New programs will be introduced to punch up the hours surrounding the 4 p.m. market close.

"The nice thing about a start-up is that you get to make a lot of tweaks," said Kevin Magee, an executive vice president at Fox Business Network.

It would be too embarrassing to drop the channel yet they're going to keep losing money keeping it afloat. How delicious. The only thing that will affect O'Reilly is a drop in the ratings. All the criticism in the world just keeps him in the limelight. Reminds me. I've got to write Cavuto an email asking how Fox Business Channel is doing.

Might want to go back and read the article this time.

I was shocked when I heared that FOX was launching a Biz Channel. I laughed at the idea, and thought, I won't be caught dead watching FOX biz channel-- I rarely watch FOX news!

They were starting to believe the hype they help create about their brand. FOX can NEVER be a credible business channel.

Their business news is even STINKIER than the cable news version. When will they shut this down completely?

[JoeBlough]

Fox news is famous for their biased, loosely based of the truth reporting. It would figure that this standard of reporting would extend to their business news.

This is precisely the kind of news business people don’t want. Therefore, bye, bye Fox business.

Gee, I guess the business community wants real news not the mouth-breather nonsense on Fox.

Bring in O'Reilly to do an afternoon show to rant about business and the economy. Nothing will be accurate or make any sense but you'll get a few drunk businessmen to watch it

Fox News has pulled the video of a crazed Bill O'Reilly swearing and screaming like a crazy man. But guess what boys and girls. There's another sight where you can see this egomaniacal masterpiece. Follow the yellow brick road to

So let’s band together, the way only Americans can, and employ our constitutional rights by spreading this video from sea to shining sea. Come on guys. Let’s show Fox the power of the web. Spread this video. You can do it. U S A U S A U S A

The last statment said it all the Name Fox New just leave a bad taste in your mouth. The main heading should be "The News You Cant use".

Maybe if Claman's asset's were revealer a little more ...

[NatteringNabob]

They need to bring on more psychics and astrologers to discuss the market. They're on from time to time, but not often enough to really draw in the Fox News demographic. Plus, it will further distance the channel from CNBC.

The problem with Fox Business is ..... the Fox part !!!

Fox has not credibility on their quality of news they deliver.

I refuse to watch or read any of the Fox products.

[belief08]

I agree wholeheartedly, Fox is Fox and they have no credibility what so ever. Their racist and bias views will only impede their viewership even more. Why anyone would even look at their business portion, knowing what their news portion mandates. I am sure we will see another report that FoxNews is dealing with low ratings as well. We the bloggers and e-mailers told you that God does not like ugly and he is proving it to you in low ratings. Beware gutter politicking is about to backfire on you big time.

Their racist and bias views

Have you paid attention to anything going on in the Democratic Party lately?

[livegreen]

I've never actually had enough time to waste to sit down and watch Fox Business. If their facts are anywhere near as manipulated and distorted as on Fox News, then it comes as no great surprise to me that they are having problems. It's just a shame that the same people who aren't watching this station don't relate the two stations and are still brainwashed by Fox News propaganda

[mamacat]

Fake Business News, marketed as real business news. Why wouldn't everyone be watching?

[ReelBusy]

Note to Fox Business Channel:
No one in the business community trusts your information.

[Gary47]

What, you mean people are tired of watching them play kissy-face with corporations?
