No. You really need to check your facts Bert.

Your lack of experience with multi-channel services is obvious.

Where do you come up with this stuff Bert?

Please stop confusing the broadcast network content that is available 
to virtually 100% of U.S. homes with the content that is available to 
the <20% of homes that only receive OTA broadcasts. Yes the major 
networks still get about 40% of the audience in prime time - much 
less in other day parts - but more than half of those homes are not 
limited to the OTA programming choice, while OTA only homes have no 
other choice - i.e. they watch the broadcast networks or nothing 
(except for VHS and DVD programming that they rent or buy).

Craig
