Fox Reality Channel to shut down next year

Tags:

The all-reality cable network, Fox Reality Channel, is expected to end its four-year run next March, according to the Los Angeles Times (and originally reported by The Wrap). News Corp. launched Fox Reality Channel in May 2005 during the height of primetime reality programming, but the channel, which was available in approximately 50 million homes, never caught on.

Fox is considering launching a new channel in its place. “With the changing cable landscape, we’ve made a strategic decision to shift some resources and refocus on emerging channels,” said a Fox spokesman in a statement. “However, Fox Reality Channel will remain on our lineup for at least the next several months.” The channel aired original content as well as reruns of reality programs such as The Amazing Race and So You Think You Can Dance.

    That’s what I was thinking DW, Solitary is one of my favorite shows! I think they’ve already finished filming Solitary 4.0, maybe they’ll air it on FOX.

    Well I can see why it didn’t last. This is the first I’m hearing about it… Not that I would watch it anyway. I hate reality shows.

    Doesn’t matter to be I just pirate all my cable from my neighbor. He doesn’t even know it, I just tapped a splitter in and buried the cable when he was on vacation. I also shot his dog with a BB gun, he doesn’t know about that either.

    • Harry’s neighbor

      I guess you needed to get it off your chest. Wait, no heart no chest.

    I can’t say that I am sad to see that channel go.

    Oh nooooooooooo! What’s going to happen to American Idol Extra and Idol Tonight? No more American Idol repeats either? That really sucks!
    I also agree about Solitary. Hope it gets moved to Fox.
