Expansion: Seperating Fact From Fiction


Recommended Posts

Bleacher Report. A blog article, but interesting read.

THere is a certain irony in a blog that portends to separate fact from fiction.

One thing he is wrong about is the Big Ten networks drive to be on the standard tier of cable networks. In the eight states that make up the current Big Ten, the network is on expanded basic or basic digital tier of channels. That is about as wide as a specialty channel! They are available in 22 of the top 25 markets on some level or another. Plus, even now they are in the unique situation of getting more ad revenue than subscriber revenue. (That is what the network is claiming, so this might be an exaggeration!)

How do you achieve the title of analyst at the Bleacher Report? Number of articles published? Reader comments? Passing an 8th grade math test?

Based on other articles from the Bleacher Report, being able to pass 8th grade anything is not required. But this writer does appear to have more on the ball the some of their other writers.
