In light of what most people think Bannon is going to do, this is worth reviewing.

They were not PC back then. It looks like they are trying to be just like CNN, now. I thought “Married With Children” was the funniest thing I had seen in a long time. Now the shows are all virtue signalling quota shows.

Very interesting, thanks! Huge business opportunity there.

Cable revolutionized alternate news giving people more choices than the uni- networks whose grip on society was weakened via fox news. Likewise streaming on demand is going to be liberating by taking away the chains of cable news that has now gone the way of the uni- networks. However, Streaming with even more choices isn't going to capture a major market share like the networks or cable, there just will be too many choices to get news, so cant see how any one player will dominate, unless we loose control of the Internet, which is areal possibility someday with all the liberal fascists amongst us now.

Don’t laugh...perhaps Bannon hires Hannity?

Just as long as there are NO ED commercials....sheesh

How does one create a truly conservative station in this day and age? An enormous, untapped audience is there, but one still needs to turn a profit. Many potential advertisers, i.e. large corporations, are controlled by the anti-American, multi-culti/diversity spouting, no borders globalists, and those that aren’t, would be ostracized by the media.

CNN is for sale.

The barriers to a ‘conservative network’ are indeed huge.

FOX started when there wasn’t overwhelming cable control of programming. People watched the UHF channels.
It started by offering entertainment for Dem voters (young, female) that advertisers would pay extra for.

Tough road. Conservatives have a low value to advertisers ( old-fogey tightwads).
Big money advertisers are internationalists- not going to support nationalist programming.
Pressure groups are effective and will be supported by the competition.

OTOH there is a desire for ‘American’ programming.

2 big helps for him would be permissary cable ala carte regs and a First Amendment legal overthrow of ‘Community’ license renewal regs which allow any pressure group to legally blackmail stations and networks.

[mrsmith]

I’d guess the path is a Netflix/Google hybrid: broker content AND provide better targeting of advertising.

Avoids all the regulatory barriers, heightens the value of the audience.

Looking forward to see what happens! I sure hope something does.

LS, the future is not cable for an alternative. It is Hulu, and new one that uses an onion as a symbol and all the others I can’t name, as I haven’t cut the cord yet. Go to the inner cities and give out firesticks that are good for a year with the new home channel being OANN, or “LS-News”, whatever the entity is. Change hearts and minds, and they won’t have to buy a jail-breaked firesticks off the streets.....
