...news channel; shortly thereafter two network rivals, ABC and NBC, did the same. Fox seemed especially ill equipped to pull off such an ambitious venture, given that unlike its competitors, it has no news infrastructure to build on. Fox also faces daunting problems getting space on the crowded cable dial. (NBC will put its new network, which debuts in July, on a channel it already owns, America's Talking; ABC hopes to package its service, promised for late this year, with its other cable networks, like ESPN.)

At this point it would be America's seventh network, something Diller may need more than the rest of us. "Do I wonder why I have this need to keep proving myself?" he asks himself, conducting...
