Yes, some are losing credibility...
Because here's the entirety of the "line" that was posted...

The channel which eventually became SPEED Channel was launched on New Year's Day 1996, by Roger L.Werner Jr., E.Roger Williams, Nickolas Rhodes and Robert Scanlon under the name Speedvision. Ownership included Cox Communications, Continental Cable and AT&T. Under their management, Speedvision became the fastest growing cable network of all time while delivering the highest male viewing audience per household of any cable or broadcast network in existence. In the summer of 2001, Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation purchased one-third of Speedvision. In August 2001, they negotiated to acquire the stakes owned by Cox and Comcast, thus giving them majority ownership. Fox leveraged the network as a negotiating tool for NASCAR television rights which were split with NBC. The plan was to morph the channel into a 24-hour NASCAR network. This plan was ultimately shelved in the fall due to Fox management's unwillingness to place NASCAR races on the channel.

NOTICE---THE GROWTH IN SPEED CHANNEL REFERENCES 1996-2001.
Yep, thanks for the link...much appreciated.
Good to know that reference is being made to data that encompassed time before Aero was even in business (1999).

IMO/FWIW
