Corrected 2/16: Fox Reality is being replaced by National Geographic Wild, not West. My bad. Thanks reader ‘m’ for pointing this out. Text below is corrected.
If you haven’t spent much time on the Fox Reality channel, you’ll be glad to know it’s being booted next month in favor of the National Geographic Wild Channel.
The Fox channel shuts down on March 31, as noted last October, in favor of another version of reality. Why National Geographic? The channel is 50 percent owned by Fox Cable Network.
Time Warner Cable, which notified customers today on its alerts page, switches to “Nat Geo Wild” on March 29. It’s the same channel — 129 — and same plan level as Fox Reality.
Other TV providers have not announced the switch yet but here are the existing channel numbers for their Fox Reality channel:
- Time Warner, 129
- Cox Communications, 363
- Dish Network, 190
- Verizon FiOS, 197
- AT&T U-verse, 130
- DirecTV, 250

Here's a list of TV/mobile companies helping consumers one tweet at a time. 
Good riddance.
Well dang, I liked watching the occassional Punk’d reruns…. at least it isnt being replaced by another foreign language channel. There are enough of those.
Too bad. I enjoyed watching chef Ramsey getting pissed at those sorry arse so-called chefs.
Sounds like a big improvement to me.
Time Warner Cable BLOWS!!!!!
$5 extra a month for all “special’ programming??!! Really AHOLES?
Fuel, versus, NGT – PUT ALL THE CHANNELS UP ALREADY you CHANNEL NAZIS!!!!
With the sorry state of science knowledge in this country ( witness the evolution/creation debate ) there isn’t enough science programs right now. Sorry Marley. It may have been entertaining, but it was not reality. It was staged. Although I do agree with your ending statement.
They should just put all the channels up and let people decide which ones to subscribe to.
EXACTLY … BUT .. you can not promote the Liberal leftest agenda that way. No they MUST force (like a CRAPPY Health care plan) enviromentalisim down you throat. Its the PETA Freak agenda that they want you to cater to…. PUKE!
@ Chris,
You are joking, right? Otherwise, huh? Nat Geo Wild is a far better channel and your liberal, leftist agenda comment is rather typical. Ideas?
Fox Reality was trash tv, but occasionally good viewing for those “brain turned off” moments. Anything would be better than another channel of the National Debunking Channel. I’ts pure subversive establishment propaganda. For smartayss; all the providers suck. I have had Dish, Direct, Time-Warner and Cox and there is nothing to choose between any of them, except Dish has the best satellite radio and Direct has the NFL.
Isn’t “Fox Reality” an oxymoron?
AT&T U-verse should put BBC World News on channel 130 once Fox Reality signs off.
Gadgetress…don’t you mean that Fox Reality will be replaced with National Geographic WILD, a channel similiar in programming to Animal Planet?? Not National Geographic West.
Yes, why did I misread that? Thanks m, will correct and update.
Your snobbery is showing. If you don’t watch Fox Reality, then why would you be GLAD to know it’s getting replaced? I don’t watch ESPN so I wouldn’t be “glad” if it disappeared. You’re an idiot.
AT&T uverse will have nat geo wild on channel 266 as of march 29
Glad they’ll at least show the final ep of Solitary 4.0! That would have been pure Val torture to not know how it ends!
I will miss the Fox Reality TV channel personally….I get so TIRED of the political statements and out right LIES portrayed on the “Science Channels” Ya know like Al Whores “global warming”, etc… A little mindless entertainment was just fun.
Where I am the channel was replaced on the 29th
Most the stuff on fox was crap but I am going to miss a few of their programs such as solitary.
I have DIRECT TV. When will this change take place for them?
It should have by now. Fox Reality is RIP everywhere.
Our family will miss the Fox Reality TV channel. Really enjoyed the House Husbands of Hollywood.
