Let me put another perspective on things.  They wouldn't replace one
channel with another if that didn't appeal to the audiences.
Cablevision is simply giving the masses what they want.  If capitalism
is wrong because it appeals to unsophisticated tastes, then so be it!
I would venture that the typical dork in Austin who actually watches
TV would prefer MTV over the local music network... that's just the
nature of the masses.

What i'd really like to see is competition in the cable business.
Then we might really see something worthwhile.
