ISTR reading that to get FOX Cable going, Murdock had to pay every
cable operator a few bucks a head upfront to get a channel and this
was somehow shocking at the time.

Can someone point me to a URL or publication that support that, or
tell me that my recollector is broken.


Thanks

Fox Cable? Do you mean Fox News Channel or Fox Movie Channel?

Why do you care? Why does it matter?


The origianl Murdoch cable rollout. I recall reading it and am
looking for a citation for a discussion of what it costs to start up a
new media organization.
