Dan,
We are not their audience. We (pilots, aviation nuts) are only a small
part of their demographic.
If they were catering to only us they would have gone off the air years
ago.

Well, there's 600,000 pilots in the US, figure that the 400,000 or so in
AOPA/EAA are the active and engaged kind. In a
digital-cable-with-300-channels world that's a decent size audience to work
with, expecially considering that it's on the whole an extremely affluent
and educated demographic.

Plus, there's a ton of "enthusiasts" out there who'd enjoy programming for
"real pilots." Look at all the Flight Simulator weenies who spend hundreds
or thousands on fancy joysticks, etc., and fly simulated airlines. I bet
they'd watch "IFR Tonight with Captain Al McFly."

Who would've guessed 20 years ago there would even be such a thing as the
"Discovery Wings Channel?"

Best,
