Re: A 36 Year Media Failure (none / 1)

The wiles and failings of media execs are a whole other diary.

Not necessarily-the marginal cost to the European programmer of supplying the Eurosoap to the British market is effectively zero, so there's a generous amount of room for negotiating down the price to share the cost of dubbing.
