On this day in 1996, Fox News went on the air for the first time, offering an alternative to the liberal-dominated media.

Today, Fox is the dominant force in cable news.

Fox News will have a one-hour retrospective of its first 15 years tonight at 10.

Say it ain't so, Homer.

After 20 years on the air, the show that made the Fox Network may be coming to an end?

'The Simpsons' could become a victim of declining ratings and greedy voice actors.

From The Los Angeles Times:

This season, "The Simpsons" has averaged 7.1 million viewers. That is a drop of nearly 19% from five years ago, when the show averaged 8.7 million viewers. In the coveted category of viewers ages 18 to 49, ratings for "The Simpsons" have fallen 17%.

Most shows experience ratings declines as they age. The conundrum is that production costs rise at the same time because producers and actors typically get big raises the longer a program stays on the air.

Did you catch "America: The Story of Us" on the History Channel Sunday night? It was the two-hour premiere, covering the arrival of the first settlers to American shores through the War of Independence. The series will run for 12 hours.

I'm a history buff, especially American history and I learned things I never knew before about the early days of the nation.

The premiere episode was fantastic and I highly recommend catching it in rerun and watching the rest of the series.

For more on the program, check out the History Channel Web site.

This is going to drive the far-left nut jobs at MSNBC and CNN over the edge.

From Jon Friedman at MarketWatch:

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Already entrenched as No. 1 in the cable-television news wars, Fox News Channel on Monday hired Sarah Palin as a contributor and strengthened itself further.

The arrangement, reported in the New York Times, has the potential of playing out as a big win for both parties. Read blog item about Palin signing with Fox.

For Fox, the addition gives its conservative political base one more reason to tune in, as Palin is the darling of many sectors of the Republican Party. Fox has surged far ahead of rivals CNN and MSNBC), so it isn't necessarily fretting about losing its sizable advantage in the ratings. But it's always good business to give the people what they want, and they can't get enough of Palin.

Palin, for her part, now has an opportunity to appear as an expert commentator on political and family issues. This enables her to stay in the public eye prior to the 2012 presidential election.

Sarah Palin, Fox: looks like a winner Jon Friedman's Media Web - MarketWatch
