I personally would watch LOGO, and I'm straight. I have another straight friend who sent me several e-mails along the lines of "Hey, _______ is on Logo tomorrow" until I told her we didn't get it.
Let's say LOGO has programming that appeals to 80% of all gay and lesbian people and 5% of straight people. That's like 12.5% of the population*. Are you telling me more than 12.5% of the population watch CCTV, CNBC World, NASA, Horse Racing TV, ect? Nothing against those channels, just trying to make a point.
If it wasn't for niche-casting, we'd all still be watching 70's style 12 channel cable systems. And packaging/bundling is what makes it all economically feasible. You pay a nickel so other people can watch LOGO, DIY, G4, ect, and I pay $5.50 so you can watch ESPN.
* showing my work-(.8 x .1) + (.05 x .9) = .08 + .045 = .125
Chalk it up to the fact that he doesn't have a clue what he is talking about!
