kcpvwill Posted November 21, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 21, 2022 We think Fox News is but probably not Fox Business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelCity Cruiser Posted November 21, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Fox, CNN, MSNBC, BBC News and SkyNews I think are the news channels (maybe a couple of others). They are supposed to be 'live' feeds but be aware that they are not always available depending on the satellite location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UWDawg Posted November 22, 2022 #4 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Per https://www.vikingcruises.com/oceans/ships/viking-neptune.html Each stateroom is equipped with: 42" flat-screen TV featuring CNN, CBC, MBC2, beIN Sports This doesn't match my recollection of channel offerings. I seem to recall MSNBC and a Fox news channel plus an Aussie news channel being included. In addition there were a collection of recordings from onboard destination lectures, Ted Talks, Viking TV recordings, and other destination information programs. For the 21/22 World Cruise on the Viking Star, there was a wide selection of on-demand movies... maybe 50 or more... which seemed to be curated towards our planned destinations. I'm not sure a shorter cruise will have as many movie selections. See the following previous thread for more discussion as to available channels and programs https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2879904-television-and-in-house-movies/?do=findComment&comment=63922818 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare CCWineLover Posted November 22, 2022 #8 Share Posted November 22, 2022 On our upcoming cruise, I will pay attention to what is offered. When on a cruise, we rarely spend any time watching TV channels. Too much else to enjoy on the ship and we can watch TV at home. OK - well we do watch the taped and live Viking shows (Star Theatre shows, lectures, port talks, etc) after dinner since they're all usually so crowded to do live and you have to get there really early (our last experience this summer). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squawkman Posted November 26, 2022 #10 Share Posted November 26, 2022 The OP asked about available news stations. Yes, I have the news on when getting dressed, ready for an excursion, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CCWineLover Posted November 26, 2022 #11 Share Posted November 26, 2022 We watch the Viking Today show while getting ready 🙂 On vacation, I try to stay away from anything depressing (which is the News these days!). I know I know, ostrich with head in the sand. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
