Fox Moving “Front Page” to New York: The Fox Broadcasting prime-time television news magazine will shift its base from Los Angeles because New York is “where the real culture of TV news thrives,” Fox TV Stations Inc. Chief Executive Les Hinton said. But Fox insiders said the move is really motivated by a need to be closer to the “talent pool” of anchors and correspondents. Virtually all the network news magazines are based in New York and so are many of the syndicated tabloid TV shows. Fox had recently been in talks with ABC News’ John Stossel, who said one of the reasons he didn’t want to accept an offer from Fox was because it would have meant relocating to Los Angeles.
