In all fairness though, that sort of situation has occurred before on other networks and tends to be trend related. Music channels are a good example of this when MTV and friends cut back dramatically on actually airing any music in favour of cheap reality crap.

And my stance probably won't change until I stop seeing The Two Ronnies on a channel dedicated to history documentaries.
