I get what you're saying about crossover demographics. But how long will even that be the norm? I guess maybe I'm an exception, but most of the time I don't even look at the channel on the guide just for the shows I want to watch. Which is why I'm aware of Cops being on CMTV (if it wasn't for the logo in the corner I'd likely never be able to tell you what station I was watching outside of the sports networks).  |
A pretty damn long time if you're the only player in town. Considering that even the most really large cities only have one cable provider and one "phone" provider in any given location, it's pretty easy to protect your monopoly.
