Correct me if I am wrong BUT isn't Viacom having logo be part of a package deal? ( I think I read that somewhere)If so I would assume part of the package is already out in homes so these networks would already be showing the other part of the package. So would the networks have a choice but to have Logo attached to this package?and is that how Viacom knows how many homes Logo would be in. IMO

Viacom’s Gay TV Network Unveils Schedule

What could be gayer than Cher?

How about the lesbian daughter of the icon, Chastity Bono? Perhaps that’s why Logo, the Viacom-owned gay channel set to debut in February, will prominently feature the mother-daughter team with “Family Outing,” a series of coming-out stories based on Chastity's book of the same name.

"We're thrilled that Cher's first foray into television production is with Logo," said Matt Farber, who is expected to be named general manager of the Viacom-owned channel.

Chastity will executive produce and host the series telling the stories of celebrities who came out as gay and lesbian.

Scheduled to launch in as many as 15 million homes in February on Time Warner, RCN and others, the all-digital network announced Friday a sampling of shows set to debut, which at first blush appear heavy on the reality TV model. But based on the talent lineup involved with the shows - both in front of and behind the camera - that may not necessarily be a negative for the startup network.
