There will not be any Hallmark hysteria in November and December, but I see the potential for a great deal of hysteria, beyond any we have had before,due to all of the contracts that are coming up for renewal in December. This ought to be good.

The good news? There's still time. I wonder how many of those channels are owned by the same parent company. Because a lot of them are locals, I bet "just a few" new contracts will equal "a lot of" channels removed from the list.
