Multichannel News is reporting Wednesday evening that Fox Business Network will be located on Channel 43 in the key Manhattan market when it makes its debut next month.
Mike Reynolds wrote, “Multichannel News has learned that FBN has secured that expanded basic channel position with Time Warner Cable of New York. In concert with FBN’s launch on the Time Warner Cable systems serving upper and lower Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island and western Brooklyn, Fox News Channel will move to channel 44 from channel 46.
“The networks’ adjacency in the nation’s financial capital will serve to bump MSNBC and Sci-Fi Channel from their current respective channel positions of 43 and 44. On Time Warner Cable of New York’s new lineup MSNBC will be positioned at 14, right next to CNBC at 15. Sci-Fi will then be located at 17.
“The news comes 40 days before FBN’s scheduled launch when it begins competing with NBC Universal’s financial news sector leader, CNBC, and Bloomberg TV.”
