At the beginning of the year, word came out that Orbit, the satellite service in the Middle East, Northern Africa and parts of Europe, had dropped CBS News programming from its schedule in favor of shows from the FOX News channel. At the time, users on Orbitforum.net were up in arms at the displacement of the CBS News programs, and there was no real word from the company as to where things were going.
This week, I’ve been informed that the Orbit News channel has now removed FOX News from its schedule, and have replaced the bulk of the slots with MSNBC, NBC, and ABC programs. No further details are available at this time, although the ‘TBA’ slots on this weekend’s planned programming should yield results soon.
