Bravo was the "Film and Arts Network" when Rainbow owned it, not after
NBCU bought it. It also bombed as a premium channel and as a basic
channel under Rainbow. As I've stated many times before, it bombed
because the highbrow audience for cultural programming hates
television in general and has their patience tested on giving money to
public TV every time Yanni and Andre Reiux pop up during pledge
drives, let alone buying cable for one or two arts channels, as Harvey
Weinstein and his investors are now learning from their rebrand of
Ovation.
And why the frak should the present NBCU Cable management be blamed
for what the people running the NBC Television Network--most of which
are now dead or long retired--did 40 frakin' years ago?
