"Rupert Murdoch’s upstart Fox Business Network drew an estimated 6,000 average weekday viewers in its first few months on U.S. cable television, far behind entrenched rival CNBC, according to early ratings estimates obtained by Reuters."

"Fox News chief executive Roger Ailes spoke to Globe reporter Joanna Weiss about the [Fox Business Network] launch and the competition from CNBC."

"The new [Fox Business Channel] is aimed squarely at the market leader, CNBC, as it tries to capture US cable and satellite subscribers seeking financial news."

"Plans announced by News Corporation to launch its new Fox Business Network in the US in mid-October are likely to speed moves by Sky News to establish a similar 24-hour pay-TV business channel in Australia."
