Is it possible to put in a paragraph where the management can be shot if a majority of initial viewers don't like the programs?
Hang on... Your post has a negative slant... but I cannot see any downside...
Can you elaborate?

There's this weird channel here called DMax (sp.), I've come across it a few times while channel-hopping. There are three "documentaries" you might see at any time, in one some british guy is doing heavy menial work, I have no idea why anyone would want to see that.
In another clairvoyant people are helping the police solve murders, I really don't know what to make of that.
"It might be red, or green, or any other colour, but it's definitely a scarf, or at least some piece of clothing"
"omgzorz that fits with the CLUES we found, it must be the ex-boyfriend who killed her" uhm, yeah... you get the picture.
Most dumb for last, would you waste your time building models of some animals and try to find out which would be able to do more damage to the other? Put in flashy lights and the generic dramatic music and you've got the "show".
They don't even produce anything of their own, they just buy stuff that's there and and brand themselves as a "real men's channel" in the hope people will be stupid enough to watch it for more than 5 consecutive minutes. Personally I think that their plan is that anyone who watches the stuff for more than 5 minutes will by then be stupid enough to continue watching.
The only decent thing I ever came across there was about demolition of houses and other big things. Factual, no unnecessary drama, good explanations.
"Here's the object, this is the way it's built, this is how we'll do it and why", and then you see a 15 storey-building or something like that fall flat.
