Just out of curiosity, I wanted to see what your ownership distribution looked like with that list.

HGTV, Food, DIY - Scripps
SyFy - NBCU
Cartoon, Boom - Turner(Time Warner)
Discovery, AniPlan - DCI
Disney - Disney/ABC


Of those, Boomerang looks like the most likely to die without either a hefty pricetag or a hefty premium attached to other networks (like Cartoon) to help pay the freight.

DIY could be in trouble as well, although surcharges added to Food could generate enough revenue to save it. HGTV at this point is probably right in the middle of the pack & could pay its own way.

SyFy is still pretty niche but probably survives with help from the hefty surcharge that would surely be applied to USA.

Disney likely becomes one of the 5 most expensive ala carte networks.
