Fox Business Network launched Tuesday on Dish Network, bringing the channel an additional 4 million subscribers.

Additionally, Fox News Channel will be moved to a lower tier on Dish, brining an additional 3 million subscribers and increasing its total distribution on Dish to 11 million.

Both networks will be available in HD.

FBN launched in Oct. 2007. It is available on Time Warner, Comcast, Charter and Direct TV.

The Dish deal puts the network in nearly 50 million homes.

• fox news hd silver package, fox business not yet in hd gold package. hd dvr $7.99/month, hd access $10.00/month, no phone $5.00/month and on and on and on. when the going gets tough, the tough get going and i am going DTV OTA and i hope dish goes bankrupt. i can not even afford the bronze package, so these new channels are DOA to me.
