I think both of those are more of a problem for the LLS idea. Even if the only people who watched him at CNSSN were hard core lefties who were also sports geeks it would significantly increase their ratings - and the inevitable meltdown would be a ratings bonanza, which would also make it a self-limiting experiment so that the channel could continue its evolution, somewhat turbo-boosted. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
