Here's what I know about TLC... The idea, was to do what public access did, but the problem with public access is there is never enough funding. So, instead of doing it as a non profit, run commercials, and then there will be much more funding, which should expand and enhance the quality of educational programming. The argument against it was that, if you run ads, you will find that some programs attract more viewers, and will be more profitable for the ads as you can charge more for ads on shows with higher ratings. The problem is that shows with higher ratings are less... educational. More entertainment. And you will want to make more of those kinds of shows because you can make more money with ads if they attract more viewers. Public access doesn't give a poo poo about this as it relies on funding, so there is no motivation to "sell out". When you look at what TLC turned in to, with shows like Honey Boo Boo, you can clearly see that the argument against it was correct.
