Time for a reality check…
Keep in mind that all of those new networks and channels are, in most cases, full-fledged production companies too. And their entire production output is also available for sale on the international market (and by the way, already formatted for television and accompanied by transcripts, cue sheets, the properly-configured masters, and E&O insurance certificates). Add it all up and you have a shrinking number of slots for program acquisitions, and many more programs available to fill them.
