The channel has been always part of the operator since its first encarnation as [[Canal+ (Spanish TV provider)|Canal Satellite Digital]] in the early 2000s. ===United Kingdom and Ireland=== FNC was carried in the [[Television in the United Kingdom|United Kingdom]] by [[Sky (UK and Ireland)|Sky]], which was 40-percent owned by 21st Century Fox at the time, and operates its own domestic news channel [[Sky News]]. On August 29, 2017, Sky dropped Fox News; the broadcaster said its carriage was not "commercially viable" due to average viewership of fewer than 2,000 viewers per day. The company said the decision was unrelated to 21st Century Fox's proposed acquisition of the remainder of [[Sky plc]] (which ultimately led to a bidding war that resulted in its acquisition by [[Comcast]] instead).<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2018/sep/26/rupert-murdochs-sky-reign-to-end-as-fox-sells-all-shares-to-comcast |title=Rupert Murdoch's Sky reign to end as Fox sells all shares to Comcast |last=Waterson |first=Jim |date=September 26, 2018 |newspaper=The Guardian |access-date=September 27, 2018}}</ref> The potential co-ownership had prompted concerns from critics of the deal, who felt Sky News could similarly undergo a shift to an opinionated format with a right-wing viewpoint. However, such a move would violate [[Ofcom]] broadcast codes, which requires all news programming to show due impartiality. The channel's broadcasts in the country have violated this rule on several occasions, while the channel also violated [[election silence]] rules by broadcasting analysis of the [[2016 Brexit referendum]] while polls were still open (the channel was blacked out while polls were open during the [[2017 United Kingdom general election|2017 general election]] to comply with the rule).<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2017/nov/06/fox-news-shows-broke-uk-tv-impartiality-rules-ofcom-finds |title=Fox News shows broke UK TV impartiality rules, Ofcom finds |last=Ruddick |first=Graham |date=November 6, 2017 |newspaper=The Guardian |access-date=November 7, 2017 |issn=0261-3077}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/aug/29/sky-to-stop-broadcasting-rightwing-us-channel-fox-news-in-uk |title=Sky stops broadcasting rightwing US channel Fox News in UK |last1=Sweney |first1=Mark |last2=Ruddick |first2=Graham |date=August 29, 2017 |newspaper=The Guardian |access-date=August 29, 2017|issn=0261-3077}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/fox-news-stops-airing-uk-a-look-at-ofcom-rulings-1033789 |title=Fox News Stops Airing in U.K.: A Look at Ofcom Rulings Against It |first=Georg |last=Szalai |date=August 30, 2017 |work=The Hollywood Reporter |access-date=August 30, 2017 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-41087659 |title=Sky stops broadcasting Fox News in UK |date=August 29, 2017 |work=BBC News |access-date=August 29, 2017}}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
