My point is not with the number of shows, it's with all of the music shows using the same genre of music. Maybe a competition to find a new good jazz singer, show tunes singer, or hip hop singer won't draw enough viewers. It seems to me as if, back in the day, when one radio station adopted a Top 40 format, then every station adopted the same format with the same playlist. -- TV or Not TV ....
