TCI Cablevision will provide the Fox News Channel Monday to local customers -- the same day as the network's national debut.
It will replace Intro Television on Channel 37 in Cape Girardeau and Jackson. There will be no cable rate increase.
The new 24-hour news network owned by Rupert Murdoch is scheduled to sign on Monday at 5 a.m.
A 10-minute news segment will be a fixture every half-hour around the clock. During the day, the other 20 minutes will be devoted to special topics such as health, politics or business. During the evening, the updates will be part of hourlong shows, interviews and in-depth reports.
