We'll need Fox News to balance the new offering from the BBC.

The last thing I seen was The BBC are looking for other broadcasters to use that slot.

Slightly off topic when did TCM launch on M+ package as didn't see any advertising for it, also I thought music on demand was free but that also now seems to have changed back to pay per view.

Moved in January when TCM2 launched.

Music on Demand was free only until the end of January.
