Murdoch’s News Corp. Threatens to Pull Fox Off the Air in Aereo Dispute
News Corp.’s flagship Fox network might cease broadcasting over the U.S. public airwaves if the company’s dispute with upstart challenger Aereo isn’t resolved, a senior company official warned Monday. News Corp. COO Chase Carey said Fox — home of “The Simpsons,” “Glee” and “American Idol” — might simply move to pay-for-TV cable as a result of its legal dispute with Aereo, a New York-based startup backed by billionaire media mogul Barry Diller. Diller knows what it’s like to challenge entrenched media behemoths. He helped launch the Fox broadcasting network nearly three decades ago. At the time, it sounded crazy: who would want to challenge the three dominant U.S. broadcast networks? Since then, Fox has achieved what was then unthinkable, by regularly beating out NBC, ABC, and CBS in the ratinga.

A new survey conducted by Junior Achievement, a group that teaches kids about money and jobs, found that 25% of teens think they won’t be able to support themselves until their mid-20s. Two years ago, just 12% of teens surveyed said that they’d have to reach the 25-to 27-year-old age bracket before being able to pay all of their own bills. Correspondingly, the proportion of teens who expect to achieve financial independence by the ages of 18 to 24 has plummeted, from 75% in 2011 to 59% today. Are these kids just unmotivated? Maybe some of them are, but many more are facing escalating college costs and poor job prospects. An alarming number have a poor understanding of budgeting and basic finance as well.
