Report: Microsoft and Fox Talking About Xbox TV
According to the report, citing two sources with knowledge of the deal, the channel would require an Xbox Live Gold membership to access. Chernin reportedly suggested raising the monthly fee for Xbox Live Gold by $1 - $2 to "add programming aimed at the online service’s young, male target audience" in a meeting that took place on April 12.
Such a channel, if in the works, would be owned by both Microsoft and Chernin. "Peter is talking to lots of people about lots of ideas in the digital space," said Chernin's publicist. At one point, Chernin and Microsoft were said to be in talks with Conan O'Brien before he signed a deal to do a show on TBS.
This would be a great thing for Microsoft to announce at E3 2010 and we will keep you posted with any new developments on the issue.

replyIf it targets a young male audience, it will be total lowest common denominator garbage.

They should name it the Teabagger Channel.

I think CNN is the Teabagger channel, since closeted gay man about town Anderson Cooper coined the phrase in a moment of onscreen passion.
In any event, they're talking Fox Channel, home of 24, not Fox News, home of 24 hour news coverage, fair and balanced.
See the difference?-
Since when is Anderson Cooper in the closet?
And anyway, some of the teabag people were calling themselves that. Not anyone else's fault they didn't know it had an urban dictionary entry. :P
