They may not have foreign sales yet but you can’t say they aren’t trying
Since yesterday I have seen reports on yesterday’s EPIX presentation in French, Spanish and Turkish. (No, I don’t read Turkish.) I wonder how hard they are working on Germany given Steinhauer’s remarks.
As I mentioned in a previous, ridiculously long comment, – I think they’re working hard.

no, rather that they started their network at a sort of unfortunate moment, in the middle of a recession that made people unlikely to want to buy additional entertainment. They have always wanted to do original series, but have delayed various aspects of their plan until they thought they could be successful, rather than rushing them and failing. They are competing on content, i.e., they are trying to provide the most attractive content rather than playing with the price structure, which would jeopardize their continued existence. They’ve been slow but smart. I just hope this is the point at which the audience is there for these series and that they do a good job of finding it and bringing those people in.

The key is to stop when you need to. Although this weekend made that harder than usual 🙂
