You can't really compare C Channel cultural pay-TV to Buffalo's PBS
station. People who aren't really sure can watch PBS for as long as
they like, enjoy the shows, and then one day, when they're in a good
mood, respond to the incessant pleas for money ("so we can get back to
the show") by calling up and pledging. C Channel should have tried
offering their product free for a few months (not just one weekend when
they were already in trouble).

Well, at least we get it for free as long as it lasts. In case
anyone (in Toronto) hasn't noticed, it's now running unscrambled.
