it doesn't matter how many channels your cable company has...

...because they show the same thing on every damn one of them.

Here's an example. The first episode of the NBC mini-series "Revelations" is airing 13 times on 5 different networks -- in 1 week!


(the last entry is for the second episode)

All of those networks are, of course, owned by NBC-Universal which helps to illustrate the point. If there are 200 channels but only 6 or 7 conglomerates that own them... you really only have 6 or 7 channels.

And wtf is an apocalyptic mini-series doing on CNBC???
