This probably goes to show that I haven't been reading the news as much I used to, but MegaNetwork NBC, which is owned by MegaCorp General Electric, is buying artsy-farsty cable network Bravo. NBC's apparent motivation is to grab hold of Bravo's 68,000 "upscale" viewers, which apparently have more cash to blow on crap than the Fear Factor fan club. Although I've thought of Bravo as a bastion of TV independence - heck, its Canadian - it was actually owned by Rainbow Media Holdings, which also owns the Independent Film Channel, WE: Women's Entertainment, and, ironically, American Movie Classics. Maybe we'll see some crazy mutant NBC shows on the new network, like, say, Law and Order: Existential Angst.
