E.W. Scripps Company: A Raging Short?

It is amazing to me how many people watch that kind of stuff, and it has the benefit of being cheap to produce, along with (for some shows) a long rerun life. I know Scripps doesn't own this one, but "This Old House" reruns go on forever, and the HGTV and Food TV stuff has the same kind of life. Whether they can keep growing it is another question, but there is some cash cow there.
