My wife pointed out that going to the subscriber channels is probably going to earn them a larger audience since FTA is not a big audience in the U.S. If they are getting revenue for the feed, then they will do even better. I'm going to miss
CCTV-9 (english) since it was really inspiring me to visit China. There is no way that I'm going to subscribe to a pay service for one channel. It would be nice if they could at least keep the english language feed up over the U.S.
