“Despite being the biggest star on the fledging channel”

LOL- what’s a “fledging” channel??? I’ve heard of a fledgling channel- though Current TV, which has been around more than six years, is more a flailing channel....

Definition of FLEDGE

intransitive verb
of a young bird

: to acquire the feathers necessary for flight or independent activity; also: to leave the nest after acquiring such feathers

transitive verb

1: to rear until ready for flight or independent activity
2: to cover with or as if with feathers or down
3: to furnish (as an arrow) with feathers

I was thinking maybe they have “fledge drives”. Then, again, I suspect, it was merely a typo for “fledging”

If you haven’t grown metaphorical feathers after six years, you’re not a fledgling, you’re a failure.

Yeah, but it’s less than one dog year.
