I simply disagree with your take on this... it is not clear whether or to what extent Comcast is in the thick of this syndication... it is not a rerun, it is not a lawyer show, it is a ground breaking frigging major move in society, and Comcast management is vitally interested in this stuff... so I just dont think it is simply a deal between q and some channel... but you might be right....
I just dont think you are recognizing the wide range of possibilities going on here... and you are oversimplifying the situation with syndication...
I'll bet there is a lot of iceberg under the water and we are just seeing the very tip...
