I found out that Fox News is available in many countries according to: https://www.foxnews.com/story/where-in-the-world-is-fox but the problem is the article is old. So I wanted to poll people from Europe and see what cable/satellite/whatever else is still offering Fox.
Why allow disinformation from America to come into Europe? My idea is it would be easy to convince TV providers not based in the US to drop Fox because it likely has low popularity and it’s likely costing them a lot. Fox News earns a lot of money with transmission fees.
Please let me know if you are in another country, subscribe to some kind of TV service and are able to receive Fox “News”.
The same could also apply to other right-wing propaganda stations that come from the US like Newsmax.
It is available in most of Europa via Astra 5°E satellite TV, but it is encrypted, so it needs some sort of subscription.
That’s the AFN (american forces network feed) it’s only for US bases and carriers, etc.
Afaik Fox does not have a broadcast license in the EU so they can’t really broadcast their channel here outside of some fringe pay tv providers that don’t count as broadcast tv. They actually had a license in the UK at some point but lost it after a year or so for non-compliance with the rules.
For what it’s worth the article I linked to claims that Fox News is available in France through something called “Free” I suspect it’s this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_(ISP) and “Orange, France Telecom (Voyage SAS)”. I guess those fall under the Pay TV umbrella.
Yeah there are hundreds of channels available via ISP in France compared to the two dozen available via our television network called TNT.
