In a bar, I ask them to change it to a "news" channel. Bars that don't won't get my repeat business.

It took them a while to wait on me. No problem.

They had Fox on. Problem.

Before they got around to waiting on me, I announced quite audibly that I didn't intend to subject myself to Fox & walked out.

and they had MSNBC and Comedy Central disabled on that wing.
That put a bee in my bonnet, I complained many times, and 5 different IT guys responded. Each said :
"No, that's not so",and tested, then:
"Well, I can fix that", and spent 10 to 20 minutes trying, there and elsewhere on that floor, then:
"Strange, I'll have to check the main settings"
Except for one young smuggy, who said "Whats wrong with Fox?" - he left with his ears smoldering !

They never did correct it, but it sure got me moving; out to the computer in the common room ASAP, and later, excursions off that floor.
