Fox Business News disappointed, but realizes it's just Business

We told you that Fox Business News was removed from the XM radio lineup, effective December 27th, 2009, well Fox Business News VP Kevin Magee tells TVNewser, "We knew going in there was a distinct possibility of this happening. We're disappointed but this is the business we're in. They're not bad people over there — they had a dilemma and it was last in, first out." FBN began airing on XM in July.

In regards to the alleged outcry over FBN, Magee responds, "We've been heartened by the response," says Magee. "It may be that somewhere slightly down the line they can add bandwidth or channels and we hope to be asked back at that point."

What subscribers need to realize is that its just business. Content providers sign a contract for a set period of time and when the contract is up decisions need to be made. Anyone that expects a single piece of content to be around forever is expecting too much. Content will continue to be added and subtracted through out time and that is the real harsh grim reality of the situation.
