Anyway,this is some BS.Why would they start w/ the "urban" shows
"Power" was the highest rated show on the network,
so they tried to play hardball by cancelling the urban channels..
At&t isn't targeting Power, At&t is talking about cancelling the Starz channel package in general, and Starz is not an urban channel package. Starz mainly shows movies and shows starring mainly white people. Power itself only had 8 episodes for it's first season, and the second one has ten.
Starz has one channel that's supposed to be dedicated to black people called "Starz in Black" and this channel mainly shows old black movies, with repeated airings of Power for a week after each episode comes out.
By the way, Power is the highest rated original show on the Starz network, but most Starz subscribers don't watch it. The first episode of the second season recently premiered with 1.43 million viewers, and went up to 3.62 million views over the weekend from repeat episodes. But Starz has just over 23 million subscribers, and most of them tune in for the movies on the channel, which happens to be Starz's main business. Power is a small drop in the bucket for the overall programming of Starz.
