Fox Mobile launches Bitbop beta, a Hulu for your phone
Posted on May 26, 2010 | No Comments
While Hulu might be missing out on the mobile space due to licensing issues, Fox Mobile-backed Bitbop is looking to step in and take the reins. The app, currently in beta and available only for select BlackBerry devices, has 25 content partners including Fox (of course), CBS, NBC, and Comedy Central. It's said to work over WiFi or even 3G data connections and is free so far, though a section in the FAQ intimates that Fox will also launch a premium plan with "unlimited, full-length, network TV shows with no commercial interruptions" for $10 a month, and mobile movie rentals are also apparently on the way. And never fear, Android and iPhone lovers -- mocoNews reports that apps for your smartphone of choice are coming, too. Let's hope Fox gets it working on Froyo, before Hulu kills that workaround.Fox Mobile launches Bitbop beta, a Hulu for your phone originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 26 May 2010 21:42:00 EST.

Red Dead Redemption gets Fox TV machinima special
Posted on April 22, 2010 | No CommentsQuite the push behind Red Dead Redemption, no? The latest is that John Hillcoat, the guy who directed The Road (which I saw the other day—the future looks horrible), has worked on a 30-minute machinima for Rockstar . The short film will air on Fox on May 15. This is a pretty big deal.

FoxSoccer.tv learns that Web sites work best when they’re actually online
Posted on April 7, 2010 | No CommentsCall me crazy, but Web sites usually work best when they're online. Nobody knows this better than we do here at CrunchGear, where the site is down a good 20 percent of the time. But at the very least you're not paying for our crummy service, unlike the poor FoxSoccer.tv customers. Fox wants $45 per season for online access to a whole host of content, including live games from all over the world. It's really not a bad service when it works, but when it doesn't work people freak out, and rightfully so.

Atari’s Missile Command (from 1980) to become live-action movie
Posted on February 22, 2010 | No Comments
In case you needed another indicator Hollywood has run out of ideas, here is a new one for you: Atari is about to sell the movie rights to Missile Command, a shooting game that hit arcades back in 1980, to 20th Century Fox and another movie production company.
Getting the license doesn't necessarily mean we ever get to see a Missile Command movie on the big screen, but a first step has been made. And in fact, Atari already managed to auction off the rights for Asteroids, another classic action game, to Universal Pictures last summer. Missile Command is supposed to be turned into a 3D movie.

Fox, Time Warner Cable agree to deal: Your NFL football is safe!
Posted on January 2, 2010 | No CommentsFox an Time Warner Cable struck a deal last night that prevented the unthinkable: no NFL football (and Fox News, and Fox Soccer Channel, etc.) for millions of Americans in the some of the biggest TV markets in America, like New York City and Los Angeles! The terms of the deal weren't announced, but at last check-in, Time Warner Cable was prepared to give Fox between 20 and 30 cents per subscriber (Fox was asking for $1 per subscriber). You knew the deal was going to happen, didn't you?

Fox, Time Warner fight over more money than you can count. Let’s blame the Internet and stuff.
Posted on December 28, 2009 | No CommentsIt has all the makings of a drama that no one could possibly care about: a giant corporation looking to make even more money than it already does; an even bigger corporation looking to stand firm and not be bullied into making any decision against its will; helpless consumers with no one to turn to, no altar to pray at; and the Internet. If you're a Time Warner subscriber you may loose all Fox-owned stations on Friday if certain conditions aren't meant, namely that Time Warner send Fox (News Corp.) several large sacks of money.

Family Guy Empire Strikes Back spoof leaks to Bit Torrent sites before its DVD debut
Posted on December 17, 2009 | No Comments
Fox made the decision to release the second Family Guy Star Wars spoof on DVD before airing on its network. Why? Greed. The first one was a huge hit and instead of just giving it away on a Sunday night for the whole world to enjoy, some corner office suits decided to release it on DVD first. That way, they probably thought while sipping 50-year old whiskey in a smoke-filled boardroom, people would have to either buy or rent it if they wanted to watch it.

Posted on July 31, 2009 | No CommentsIn case you didn’t notice, Peter Ha was a tad upset when news broke about Fox recasting Futurama. Good news though, a deal has been reached. The original cast is returning after agreeing to the “studio paying more and the actors accepting less” according to TheStar.com. I just hope that Peter can get some sleep now. [...]
