I think it's the dumbest flipping name for a channel ever. I assume they are changing it so that they can continue airing more of their shitty drama ridden shows without angry parents emailing them about their lack of quality family programming.

yep that is how the commercial world goes. When my husband does commercials for his company there is a fee for the commercial to be aired. then every time it is aired the channel gets a fee. they do more radio ads because of this. It can get expensive. And it all depends on the time of day and what show the commercial runs through for the amount they have to pay. kinda like the super bowl commercials. they pay a fee to be a super bowl commercial then they pay a bigger fee to play it during half time. they pay a fee every time the commercial is shown after the super bowl. and if they want a certain time they pay for that time slot on top of the fee for the commercial to be ran.
It is very crazy but that is how the channels stay alive. it is not the shows they air that make them money.

And don't discount the disposable income the 14-34 age group has. If they have money for Starbucks, there's money for a cause they are passionate about. Several of my DD's (16) friends participated in Dresscember to advocate for women in human trafficking situations. I know some of the girls raised more than $500.
But the soul reason I didn't watch any of the Harry Potter movies this week because I couldn't stand ALL the sad commercials. So I guess their theory backfired on this 48 year old woman with plenty of discretionary income.

Whenever one of those ASPCA commercials comes on any channel, my husband & I scramble for the remote to change the channel as soon as possible. Depending on what we switch to, we sometimes never go back. They are heartbreaking!
And for the record, we donate several times a year to animal causes, but I just can't watch that sadness.

When does the name change take effect. I just checked and it still shows Family in the channel lineup? I wonder if the shows are going to change much. Today looks like all family shows.
