Since Foxtel would be able to build up a substantial library of old TV programs, I would like to see a 'Soap' channel dedicated specifically for Soap Operas, a 'Games' channel devoted specifically to Game Shows and a 'Talk' channel aimed specifically
for talk shows. I know there is a variety of these types of shows
spread over other channels, but Foxtel need to label these channels exclusively just as they do with sport, music, soft-core porn, movies and news, that way it would be easier for the Femmes to findeth them.
At the moment the afore-mentioned categories are a bit too broad,
In America they even have a 'Golf' channel devoted exclusively to Golf, not too unlike the idea of our 'Fox Footy' channel which is exclusively devoted to 'Footy'.

So how about it, Foxtel, 'Games', 'Talk' and 'Soap' channels for the ladies (and gents), so they knoweth where to findeth them !!

What really makes no sense is that Mad Men is on a movie channel. Viewers with
the basic package that includes the entertainment channels should not have to
pay extra to get this.

Same in the US and Canada. It's shown on the American Movie Classics channel there (AMC)

http://www.amctv.com/

They have a lot more channels to choose from (800+) as opposed to our
200 plus channels on Foxtel.

Eventually we'll get AMC and HBO here(I hope !), providing Foxtel can substantially raise their subscription rates over the coming months. Otherwise, it'll be same old, same old ! ☻☺☻

Unlikely that Foxtel wil substantially raise their subscription rates
anytime soon. presently they are desperately trying to flog their
existing packages. now you can even get them without contracts. in hard
economic times the first things that ppl ditch are non-essentials like
paytv.
