what happened to Neill?

A shame, the more views the better, but not unexpected. My feel is that the UK population generally doesn't do news in a big way. Are there any news channels?

Sky News is popular and it’s the British Fox News - they even use Fox reporters as their US correspondents.

Have you ever watched it? Besides the fact that it has the same owner and as I mentioned all US news cuts to Fox News studio. Fox as well uses Sky anchors on British news.
