Fox Networks Group to Launch Fox Reality Channel in Early 2005
Warning if you’re approaching this post more than a month after initial posting – Yahoo has burned me in the past, so the link may have rotted by then. Here’s a quick quote from the top of the article, which basically sums up the channel.
Fox Reality Channel’s planned program line-up will consist of several long and short-form original series, as well as unscripted series newly customized with original bonus features. Fox Reality Channel will likewise utilize original and more immediate off-network content from Fox-owned studios, as well as from outside suppliers. The new network will offer a topical perspective on past and current reality series, and showcase highly popular relationship-based and competitive reality program formats.
Overall, I’m actually kind of torn. I mean, I’m a big fan of some reality television, like Survivor and Last Comic Standing, but generally the stuff on Fox is just utter trash. Therefore, a Fox channel dedicated to their reality programming will also probably be nothing but trash. Sure, there are some funny dating shows, but they’re also quite demeaning, and in general I can’t think of a single Fox reality show that I like. Then again, I like the idea of getting behind-the-scenes type content.
Since I don’t have cable (and most likely won’t for the forseeable future), it’s a moot point, but still noteworthy.
Personaly I think this is great, reality TV will just become one step closer to oversaturation,people will sour and all the major networks will drop it, yay. (sorry, I know your a fan)
Oh and one other thing, is it just me or does your comment box extend far under your link bar (like this text is going behind little bamers, and then eventualy tabs over once it reaches the end of the screen (like its set for 100% of the page, yet it can only take up 85% without going under/
