Fox Reality Channel Extends the Holiday Season with “12 Days of Idol”

LOS ANGELES - (Business Wire) Fox Reality Channel is the exclusive destination to relive the magic of “American Idol” Season 7. From the wacky auditions through the dramatic finale, the “12 Days of Idol” will air back-to-back episodes of Season 7 starting January 1 through January 13, 2009. The “12 Days of Idol” gives viewers the opportunity to build their excitement for the Idol franchise, leading up to the January 13th premiere of “American Idol” Season 8 on FOX Broadcasting January 13th.

Fox Reality Channel’s signature original series “American Idol Extra” will premiere on Thursday, March 26th, 2009. “American Idol Extra” brings viewers the EXCLUSIVE first sit-down interview with the “final 10” straight from the Idol stage, moments after they are eliminated. “American Idol Extra” is the only show with behind-the-scenes access, bringing fans coverage they can’t find anywhere else.

This is cool! I can set my DVR (again) for an extra 10 minutes or minutes so and NOT miss the last few minutes of the finale this time. (I saw it last time cuz I was recording while watching; I just didn't get to record the ending).

Now I'm rising from the ashes finding my wings

(Since I'm always listening to something Cook, I decided to jot down the current line that I'm listening to at the end of each post. )

Darn! I used to have this channel until we switched back over to Cablevision. Oh well. At least I still have my AI 7 DVDs!

Woohoo! Can re-live the season all over again and this time not freak out during the results shows worrying that Cookie may go home! lol Is it wrong that I still have the final performance show on my DVR? I just don't have the heart to erase The World I Know performance

Annette - You are the girl who always has the latest of everything.......so, can you post, if you know, what time this will be on? I would love to revisit this again - as I think we all would. Wow - how fun. Thanks -




You should definately NEVER erase that - I have it on my iTunes - it's so sweet and showed his total grasp and breath of how long it took to get where he was. That was such a great performance.

LOL No not sad at all! In fact, I wish I had saved that performance on my DVR. Although I do still have the finale still saved!

Wrong? Are you kidding? I have the last two shows from season 7 on tape and I watch them whenever I need a lift.
I never thought David was going home. How could he have? He was always amazing!!

what is this Fox Reality Channel? Is it on TV or the internet??? I have Comcast, but have never heard of it..HELP???

I didn't think Cook was going home either. I watched dial idol week after week and he took over the 2nd half of that competition. I knew there were a lot of people who never vote until the finale and so I knew he was going to take the prize. Archie was good but a lot of folks felt he sounded the same week after week doing ballads and we've seen this before on A.I. in the past. I didn't for one moment think his performances on final 2 was inferior to Archie's. Cook stood out and changed the show. His comment after Simon said that he should have done Hello or Billie Jean rather than The World I Know, being that this show was about progression, probably nailed it for him for those who were on the fence. He took a risk and I knew he wasn't going to reprise a song he did in the past because he's already done it. I saved the last three episodes (final 3, finale 2, and the results) and I don't think I'm every going to delete those off of my DVR.

DCOOKFAN60 - I have Comcast as well. I do not think our cable provider provides Fox Reality Channel. You may want to call the provider to see if this channel is an option. This would one of the offered Cable TV Channels.

Now I don't feel so weird about still having that on my DVR! I just erased the finale results show like a month ago. Now I wish I hadn't

My fave on Idol had never won before so every week I was waiting for something crazy to happen during one of the results shows (a la Chris D.) Fortunately that never happened

Wish we had that Fox channel over here in NIreland I have the final two AI7 shows recorded would love a DvD of everything from the top 24 onwards!!

I don't think i have that channel with Shaw here in Canada That's not fair... :'(

I just went into the Fox Reality web site to see if you can find out what channel they're on. Here's the link:
http://foxreality.channelfinder.net/start.asp. You just have to put in your zip code and your local provider, and they'll let you know if they broadcast in your area, along with the channel.

Hope this helps.

I wish I had Fox Reality...AI and SYTYCD are pretty much the only shows that I watch regularly, so it would be a good investment.



I wasn't worried top 2 results night, but I remember I was quietly freaked for top three night...I "knew" that there was no way that he would leave over Syesha, but when they showed his homecoming clip last I started worrying that "oh no, they're gonna tell him he's going home when his clip is over" or something ridiculous like that...I actually completely forgot about my feelings that night until I was watching him make the top 2 on YouTube last week...and I got a twinge of the remnant of that feeling when he was standing backstage wating to get called out for his homecoming montage and then again when he was standing there with Syesha waiting to see who got through. Then I remembered how tense I actually was that night...I think that that was the only time where I was legitimately nervous in an "OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG" kind of way throughout the entire season. I think it's interesting how you can still experience the old reactions to some extent even though you already know the outcome...I still hold my breath every time I watch the winning moment, I got that slightly sick feeling when I watched top 3 results...it's kinda crazy.

Well, Fox Reality is available through DISH Network, which is what I have - it's on channel 190 - but I don't have it! Looks like I'll be calling DISH early next week to check out the cost of (possibly) subscribing.

The things we do because of David!
