I wonder if the cable companies
and satellite TV companies would take notice if large numbers of their subscribers requested to have the Faux 'News' Channel blocked? I'm considering having it blocked on our TV, just so I don't accidentally click on one of those smug assholes' faces.

2. Can you request to have it blocked?
Is is possible for the company to do that?

3. You can probably remove it yourself.. I did.
If your TV has a setup that is screen based, push the remote's buttons and walk through until you find a channel memory function. (I don't recall exactly how I did it on our Panasonic). You should be able to do it. It is SO satisfying to push the up arrow, and NOT see channel 40.

It doesn't give you the satisfaction of telling your cablers to get rid of it.

Unfortunately, there are about four other Faux owned channels in our system. Nascar, ya know. (not that I watch it)
