re: 'Duck Dynasty': A&E warned Phil Robertson about speaking out too much [W:1111]
What remains to be seen is if this continues.
His suspension has already shown a great loss of viewership and an outpouring of support.Their concern is for their entire brand. If the network didn't suspend him, that is tacit endorsement of his comments and could cause a loss of overall viewership, to programs unrelated to Duck Dynasty. The loss of viewers to that show, would be limited since they have an audience and viewers will still tune in.
Again, none of this would be an issue if not for Phil.
