Something I forgot to mention back from the weekend we were in Maine is that I saw what might be the least fraught idea in niche cable/sattelite programming: the NFL Network. They were getting a free preview, and if the finished product is anything like it the channel is going to be the pigskin equivalent of crystal meth.
Sadly, the schedules suggest it's going to be more like whatever drug is repetitive and boring (quaaludes?). The signature show NFL Total Access, airs at 8 pm, again at 11 pm, and is then repeated the next day at 2 am and then from 5 am to noon. Most of the other non prime-time programming is repeated from earlier in the broadcast week. Hopefully this will change as the network grows. At least it's not infomercials.
