After Comcast made the idiotic decision to discontinue MOJO. Three Sheets was relegated to low-def letterbox on FLN, which Scripps apparently felt didn't deserve an HD channel. Well, if the Cooking Channel doesn't make room for the show, let's hope they are smart enough to move it over to Travel Channel.Ed_Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05307928459816090044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30368617.post-75262174154900849522010-02-20T15:51:43.189-05:002010-02-20T15:51:43.189-05:00Thank God for PBS.

PBS' cooking channel can only dream of having FN's ratings.<br /><br />Why mess with success?<br /><br />Even if "The Cooking Channel" had started with instruction-based shows, I'm pretty sure it would have ended up like the "MTV/MTV2" channels.<br />MTV wasn't playing music videos anymore, so they started a MTV2 to show videos, but slowly it ended up like MTV, nothing but reality shows. <br />I'm sure the same thing would have happened to "FN/FN2"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30368617.post-32940502077712386522010-02-19T10:15:09.236-05:002010-02-19T10:15:09.236-05:00Let me read between the lines of the quote from th...Let me read between the lines of the quote from the PR hack:<br /><br />"We polled our advertisers and felt like they wouldn't support just instructional cooking shows."<br /><br />It's not about the viewers, kids.
