   They are showing firstrun programming from CBS, NBC, CW, Syfy, Cartoon   
   Network, and the UK.  I'm quite sure a US TV network could get passable   
   ratings by combining those 5 networks' shows as well as bringing stuff in   
   from other continents, too.  However, since that option is not available to   
   Syfy (or any other single US cable network)...
