15. FOX News can't be "cancelled" by itself. If it is part of the bundle of channels you are paying

for, you wil get it. The only way to get rid of it is to cancel that bundle which means removing all the other channels in that bundle as well which probably includes some channels most people would want.

However, I'm pretty sure most cable providers allow you to block individual channels so they can't be viewed by anyone unnless you enter a code to unblock. I know DISH Network had such a feature because I used it. Blocking Fox news meant I never had to see it. I could never even turn it on accidentally.
