True, many former C-banders have traded in their BUDs for pizza dishes. […] Most of those programmers are smart: they offer C-band *and* pizza dish programming. So, for every C-band customer lost to pizza, they gain a pizza client. Conversely, it is these pizza dish clients who are enabling programmers to continue to provide C-band programming.
