When someone who doesn't realize what they're asking for calls, I tell them it'll cost anywhere from $1,000 to $30,000 per finished screen minute depending on what they want done. If they continue...

Just a jab at Comcast. As someone said earlier, they do free ad's with the purchase of airtime which brings the overall market down. In a small market like the one I'm in it hurts even worse since...
