I used to block Fox when I had catv. Only I had the code.

That said I'm guessing there are more things going on in this marriage.

and not just in the US but I suspect you are correct and they have other issues.

Troubling on many levels to the partner living in the real world.

So the manager blocked fox on their cable channel and things became calm again in that facility. They only show local news now.

It's too dangerous that someone might click on it by accident.

Never heard of a cable/TV provider that lets you cancel a channel. Pretty much take what they offer or nothing. Fox isn't an addon.

Or satellite.

Or Broadcast television.

The television in our house plays DVDs and a couple of no-advertising streaming services. That's all it does.

Flat things you stick to wall or window

I've not had tv service in more than 10 years. Zero tolerance for liars.

But the antennas do exist & aren't prohibitively expensive

They sell it as a bundle with all the other Fox channels. Sports, entertainment, etc. And even so, the cable company determines the lineup. You can't do it. I've tried.

But they still get our $$$.

... but you're still paying for it. They won't take it off your monthly cable fee. Faux Noise gets your money anyway, whether you watch or not. I had Verizon Fios for over 20 years, and I calculated that my $160 monthly fee meant I was paying Faux something like $3 per month.

What really hurts Faux Noise is the fact that so many Americans have just canceled their cable subscriptions altogether. Way fewer subscribers now than 15 or 20 years ago.

That's the impact Faux Noise has had on American television. We can't cancel them specifically, so we're cancelling the entire system. The winners are the providers like YoutubeTV, Prime, Peacock, Hulu, AppleTV, and a bunch of others.

Like you they use some of the providers you listed.

Smart TVs have 'parental controls' that can disable selected channels

For several years now, I have read about people visiting elderly parents who seem overly agitated and angry about 'the news' so they disabled FOX news from the TVs. Suddenly, everybody calmed down and got civil again.

AFAIK parental controls are all built into the TV and programmed through the remote.

when i was at my late dad and his 2nd late wives house . i couldnt bstomach fox noize.

preaches to his blank eyed band of True Believers the same stuff over and over. Usually consisting of "Great" to childish whines about all the non-believers trying to mess up his imaginary triumphs. The audience is getting restless.

Or get divorced.
Fox is heroin to these junkies.
Good luck!

for, you wil get it. The only way to get rid of it is to cancel that bundle which means removing all the other channels in that bundle as well which probably includes some channels most people would want.

However, I'm pretty sure most cable providers allow you to block individual channels so they can't be viewed by anyone unnless you enter a code to unblock. I know DISH Network had such a feature because I used it. Blocking Fox news meant I never had to see it. I could never even turn it on accidentally.

... there will usually be a 'parental control' which lets you block channels, so they can only be viewed by entering a password. Keeps kids away from the "adult" entertainment. If you have no "adult" channels, you've probably never considered using it before.

If you have something like DISH, you may be able to implement it through DISH's hardware **OR** your own TV.

A woman of principle.

It's pretty unlikely anyone will look for it or stumble across it.
