A Look at the Fox Family Channel Purchase

[lrodk]

MousePlanet has the first part of a two part feature on Disney's proposed purchase of Fox Family. It outlines very nicely what it is that Disney is getting for their money. Here's the link:

I don't believe there was any mention in the article that the Fox Family Channel started out as the Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN). CBN was also the beginning of Robertson's program, The 700 Club, which is still seen on Fox Family. Somewhere else I read that Disney would be keeping the 700 Club as part of the programming for the new ABC Family Channel. If that's so, I find it interesting that Pat Robertson, whom I'm sure has bashed Disney for their gay days (no debates here please), now has Disney for his new boss!
