Joakin Baage, writing on Digital Media Wire, likes what he’s heard so far about the new Fox Business Channel, but he wonders whether its strategy wll be as effective as CNBC in a recession.
“In fact, Rupert Murdoch has already predicted the fall of the networks – in their current form. As consumers increasingly are taking control of media, Murdoch has noted the need for a new breed of networks to form to cater to the way they want to consume and interact with media. It seems like Fox Business News is still very much a traditional television network.
“Perhaps News Corp is holding back its new media plans for the new business channel secret for competitive reasons, but I still expected more out-of-the-gate from the owners of MySpace.
