Considering that air times in Japan for some of these titles was in the 2300 - 0600 time slot as well, we were lucky to get them at 2100. Also something can not become "mainstream" if the masses swimming in the stream know nothing about it. Fans like us only swim in our little fish bowl of fandom so don't count. The only way the masses are going to become interested is if they are told it exists in the first place, and the only way to do that is advertising in the mass media, not just in fan mags and websites that only fans frequently visit. As far as I know this didn't happen with AC. But that is only meeting them half way as next AC has to provide the programming that they are advertising. Until we see for ourselves we can only speculate just what will be on "True Entertainment" but the title sounds like it's going to be about bio-dramas and docu-dramas about true stories, or events in history, or the news. But I'll hazard a guess that it will have other programmes sprinkled in with one, or two anime titles. Something like Propeller TV, but with a sprinkling of anime on top.
