Back in my youth when I worked in cable, our MSO received a brochure
for a new pay channel with a logo that looked like "CinemaX". Because
of that, and the fact that the brochure wasn't exactly chock full of
information, we decided it must be a new pron channel. Of course, that
turned out not to be true. The soft core stuff happened much later.
