Fox Broadcasting Company has stated that it is launching a new digital broadcast system co-designed with IBM that will help transform high definition (HD) broadcast production for the 2005 NFL on FOX season. The new digital system will help FOX lower program production costs for its high definition NFL broadcasts and will enable content from the games to be available on demand for re-purposing and further distribution. The FOX digital archive solution combines traditional broadcast format and encoding standards, such as ASI and MPEG, with industry standard technology to give FOX the ability to easily and transparently transmit digitally compressed HD NFL broadcasts straight from its stadium based, on-site mobile trucks directly into a production archive at its Los Angeles studio headquarters.

Murdoch is such a shrewd business man! Can you imagine how many "Get The Facts" ads will be playing during those broadcasts!
At eight zillion dollars a minute? 380 ads. Yep, that's what he'll get.

And in each add, they will show a different country manager being hung from the gallows in their respective countries starting with Brazil. Hundreds of soldier looking people with BSA on the backs of their uniforms similar to FBI swat teams will run onto the field and capture the Rolling Stones and Janet Jackson will wear a corsett. Then the managing partner from Preston Gates and Ellis will make an appearance with Michael Jackson waving a white flag that says " we won, hehe".

Murdock will put the money in the bank and buy Red Hat and Novell, combine them with Sun and Monte Vista and begin selling solar panels for autombiles.

The Secretary of the Treasury will accompany the Chairman of the SEC and the CEO of the NYSE and they'll play celebrity poker for 15 minutes.

Everyone will then get spammed with an email saying that they have the winning ticket, click here to redeem your prize.

But they will first have to agree to the EULA that says the BSA and any affiliate can come onto their property and seize their computers for an indefinite period not to exceed ten years.
