Florida's News Channel (FNC) was a regional cable news network available on Florida's cable television systems (e.g. Comcast, GTE, TCI Cable, AT&T Broadband, and Continental Cablevision) that operated from 1998 to 2003.[1] FNC's viewers were the first to see virtual reality news environments with customized local scenery in each of Florida's seven major television markets.[2]
Comcast dropped FNC due to lack of viewer interest.[7] The legal dispute between FNC's management and Comcast was settled in 2005.[8]
