What's even more humiliating is that Bored Johnson Is Right:
Not only does every SD station now have a ATSC digital simulcast--and
every local cable provider carrying them by law--but HDTV
splinter-networks are already becoming the new breakout craze for
cable-channel franchises.

Can't really say for sure how many, as our area only gets the HDTV
spinoff channels for Sci-Fi, HBO, Showtime, Starz, Cinemax, ESPN, ESPN2,
Food, Discovery, Travel, A&E, National Geographic, Home&Garden, Cartoon
Network, TNT, CNN, and On-Demand movies, but I'm sure there're other new
ones out there too...
