You are right, I haven't seen that.  I've never seen any of those
programs.  I only just realized tonight, when a new vcr autoscanned
channels, that a whole bunch of UHF stations are on the air that
didn't exist back when I was still watching (about 7 years ago).

I suppose that is possible, albeit quite depressing.  I have the
impression that overall audience is down, though.  Perhaps the low
brow audience is all that remains watching.
