Well, we were discussing how a lot of the WM board folk, and programs, were saying their sales were down by 40-75% and how that math breaks out and you can remain in business. I guess you never have those discussions where it is unresolved and you are racking your brain to figure some of that out.

A lot of sites, or program sites, do not do clip stores. Same can be said for DVD unless they make their own content. So they do not have that revenue stream. So the best I came up with was....

1. Rotating stale old content annually. Old falls off. (minimal expense)
2. Updating 1-3 times a week instead of daily. (cut down on new content budget)
3. Shaving. (expense management)
4. Using re-run one hit wonder sites to finance their new top of the line HD site.

When you hear programs, and site owners talking about their sales down so much. At some point you simply have to wonder how they remain in business.
