Ton of great classic content they can add to this service over time. Very strong potential IMHO.

As I've mentioned several times, their launch was fraught with issues of all kinds but maybe the biggest issue is that a large amount of their content is wrapped up in licensing deals with other networks, so they don't have the rights to even broadcast content they actually own.
