It is Turner trying to get some type of cheap programming going, just like Viacom did a year ago. Turner is about to lay off 10% of its entire work force, canceling a lot of more expensive shows on their 13 networks, and is currently holding out for more money in its current contract negotiations with DISH. The TV industry is getting rough out there, 60% of income used to come from advertising, now only 35% does because advertising companies know people aren't watching the ads, so they don't pay as much to broadcasters since they can no longer guarantee viewership, that income to support new content has to come from somewhere, and it is starting with programming distributors like DISH, Comcast, and AT&T, which in turn will increase prices for customers, which in turn leads more people to cancel Pay TV altogether and go with streaming services, which will pull advertisers to them, turning Netflix into youtube in terms of forced advertising, leading finally to TV show developers going to streaming services to sell their content to instead of companies like Viacom and Turner. I expect it all to change drastically within 10 years or less. Gonna be fun to watch unfold.
