That the overall viewership is only up 17%, means that a not so small portion of CCWS fans have chosen to watch something else instead.

Ken: A) I was, and still am, for ONE series. Period. Yes, I'm happy. B) See dd's post from the Edmonton Sun and see Gary's response to both of those.

What do you mean Edmonton didn't exist? Long Beach existed, too. They were just in a different series.
problem is you championed for a single series in a certain model that was presented and promised....and campaigned heavily for it for years...Quote:
