re: When did FOX become BET all of a sudden?

They said the traditional mid/upper income white viewer has migrated over to premium channels like FX, AMC, HBO, and things like Netflix and Amazon Prime. It was interesting but it made sense.

I would guess a lot of that is because the premium channels are pumping out very high quality programming that is intelligent and well acted. FOX wants to pump out cheap shows and for the most part those aren't catching on like they used to. Look at CBS in the same light, most of their cheap shows are established where people are kind of "pot committed" to the show at this point but they don't pick up a lot of new viewers (looking at Big Bang and Two Broke Girls).
