Fox Business Network (FBN) is an American cable and satellite business news television channel that is owned by the Fox Entertainment Group division of 21st Century Fox. The network discusses business and financial news. Day-to-day operations are run by Kevin Magee, executive vice president of Fox News; Neil Cavuto manages content and business news coverage. As of February 2015, Fox Business Network is available to approximately 74,224,000 pay television households (63.8% of households with television) in the United States. ==History== News Corporation chairman Rupert Murdoch confirmed the launch at his keynote address at the 2007 McGraw-Hill Media Summit on February 8, 2007. Murdoch had publicly stated that if News Corporation's purchase of ''The Wall Street Journal'' went through and if it were legally possible, he would have rechristened the channel with a name that has "''Journal''" in it. However, on July 11, 2007, News Corporation announced that the new channel would be called Fox Business Network (FBN).〔(Fox Business Network to Launch Oct. 15: Associated Press Business News - MSN Money )〕 This name Fox Business Network was chosen over ''Fox Business Channel'' due to the pre-existing (though seldom used) legal abbreviation of "FBC" for the then-News Corporation-owned broadcast network Fox Broadcasting Company. The channel launched on October 15, 2007. The network is placed on channel 43 in the New York City market, which is home to the NYSE, NASDAQ and S&P 500 stock exchanges. It is paired with sister network Fox News Channel, which moved to channel 44 (CNBC is carried on channel 15 on Time Warner Cable's New York City area systems). FBN received carriage on Cablevision channel 106, only available via subscription to its IO Digital Cable package. According to an article in ''Multichannel News'', NBC Universal paid up to "several million dollars" in order to ensure that CNBC and Fox Business would be separated on the dial, and in order to retain CNBC's "premium" channel slot. However, it is important to note that FBN is carried on Time Warner Cable only on its analog service in New York City; in other markets, the channel's carriage is limited to digital cable. Verizon's FiOS TV also carries the network on its premier lineup (SD channel 117 and HD channel 617). Dish Network began carrying FBN on channel 206 on February 2, 2009. FBN also received carriage on DirecTV channel 359. On May 12, 2008, Fox Business Network revamped its daytime lineup, which included the debut of two new programs, ''Countdown to the Closing Bell'' and ''Fox Business Bulls & Bears''. On April 20, 2009, ''Money for Breakfast'', ''The Opening Bell on Fox Business'' (both hosted by Alexis Glick), ''The Noon Show with Tom Sullivan and Cheryl Casone'', ''Countdown to the Closing Bell'', ''Fox Business Bulls & Bears'', and ''Cavuto'' all moved to the network's new Studio G set. All six of those shows shared the same set in Studio G, which was unveiled on ''Money for Breakfast'' the same day. On September 17, 2012, FBN switched to a letterboxed format on its standard definition feed; simultaneously, all programs began being shown on its HD feed in a full 16:9 picture format, resulting in the removal of the right-side content wing. The network also debuted new graphics on the same day. On February 24, 2014, ''Opening Bell with Maria Bartiromo'' debuted on FBN in the 9 a.m. ET timeslot, replacing the final 20 minutes of ''Imus in the Morning'' (which itself was truncated from 200 minutes to 180 minutes) and moved ''Varney & Company'' (which also expanded to the full 2 hours) down to the 11 a.m. ET time slot. On May 29, 2015, ''Imus in the Morning'' was cancelled after a 5-1/2 run, thus resulting in major changes to FBN's daytime programming lineup on June 1, 2015. ''Best of Imus in the Morning'', which aired from 5-6 a.m. ET, was replaced with a new early-morning business program, ''FBN AM''. Maria Bartiromo, whose ''Opening Bell'' program was also cancelled on May 29, debuted her own new morning program, ''Mornings with Maria'', in the time slot previously occupied by the aforementioned ''Imus in the Morning'' (6-9 a.m. ET). ''Varney & Company'' was moved up to the 9:00 a.m. ET time slot and also, was expanded to 3 hours from 9:00 a.m. to noon ET. ''FBN AM'' and ''Mornings with Maria'' were among the four new programs that debuted on June 1, with ''Cavuto: Coast to Coast'' and ''Intelligence Report with Trish Regan'' being the others. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fox Business Network」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
