Im just saying that your voice may be that of the minority, and don't expect them to change for that minority.
That's just it...for the first 10 years of TVFN, my voice echoed those in the 100 percentile! This "expansion" in an attempt to broaden the audience to include people who don't cook is a mistake. TVFN Management took a good thing for people who cook and are trying to make it a "generic" thing to include those who don't care about cooking.

Programming doesn't have to be 100% instructional - the "challenges" like Pizza and Wedding Cake are definitely of interest to those who cook. It's the low-quality junk like Semi-Homemade that has serious viewers convinced that TVFN has lost its marbles.

I don't watch ESPN because I am not interested in sports - and those who cook are turning away from TVFN because it has less and less to do with cooking. Luckily, we TIVO everything and watch at our convenience, so a good part of my disgust with TVFN is expressed in the form of head shaking while looking at my DirecTV guide. There is less and less worth watching on TVFN and they should not have bailed on their original, dedicated audience.
