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.

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.
