Here's all that Fox has to do...put on John Wayne in Red River, with only one 2-minute commerical break in the middle. It would likely carry at least the same audience as watching the Oscars...if not more. For ABC...the money from commericals would likely be dismal and some advertisers might ask for their money back. Fox could send a quiet message...real cowboys are preferred over breakback...and the hollywood crowd would be sitting there and scratching its head for months.
