	Variety.com - Saftler to push Movie Channel
		FMC draws on the massive library of movies from 20th Century Fox for its programming fare, adding some original programming related to news and info about the Fox theatricals.
		The new emphasis is welcome to execs at FMC because over the last few years, Fox has focused more attention on higher-visibility cable networks like FX and National Geographic Channel, which are expensive to program and harvest a bigger percentage of their revenues from advertising than from cable-operator license fees.
		Fox says FMC is "available" to 25 million homes, but only an undisclosed percentage of those 25 million, the ones who pony up extra monthly for digital boxes, can actually receive the channel.

		Fox Movie Channel has been made aware that the Charlie Chan films may contain situations or depictions that are sensitive to some viewers.
		Fox ultimately relented and resumed running some of the Chan films, but only temporarily, and entirely without fanfare — obviously hoping to avoid more confrontations.
		It seems likely that Fox will eventually release the Chan films on DVD, having gone to the expense of restoring them before their aborted slate of showings this summer, but the FMC decision is nonetheless both cowardly and curious.
