Initial concepts for both were too niche. MTV's additional problem was time
spent watching; people would tune in for a song or two then leave. The demos
weren't great either; too many kids and teens, and largely only white kids
and teens at that -- diversity was unknown there until Michael Jackson became
the network's Jackie Robinson, so to speak.

As for SyFy (formerly SciFi), science fiction is a divisive genre to begin
with and it would be nearly impossible to program a channel that would please
SF fans (Oh, and "serious" science fiction fans NEVER call the genre "sci-
fi.") who want content with deep social messaging and those who just want a
terrifying zombie story.

The answer for both networks (as it was for History Channel, CMT, A&E, etc.)
was to dumb down and go for middle-brow to low-brow chewing gum for the
eyeballs of the masses.
