Would you have rather spent money advertising or on more shows? They advertised at the London Expo and Amecon last year. It was all over the UK forums long before the channel launch. If they did not have any advertising at all then how did they get the 80-100k weekly viewing figures in the first 2 month?I'm not saying its all the fans fault, but rather than wait for AC to show the next eps of the show they liked, a lot did go off to fansubs and never came back. Its the "I must see the next ep NOW" attitude and the AC forum is littered with such messages.But without the viewers no channel can survive and the viewers have to take the rough with the smooth. And when things got rough the viewers up and left.Rather defeatest attitude. Surely its better that they at least tried even if it failed. I know from talking to Mark last year that he DID have plans for the future of the channel.It was far from the ideal setup for an anime channel but he worked with what he was given. It was better than nothing and you can't deny that.They work in TV and seem to be quite successful, so yes, they probably do know whats best for their business. Whats good for business and whats good for us is rarely the same though. Otherwise we'd have anime on lots of channels.
