Wow, that is really disappointing to hear. The magazine has always been very high quality while the network has been.. ok.

Time will tell how the magazine fairs.

Hey, I think you meant "fares". I'll delete this comment once you see it.

I knew it didn't look right, but didn't have time to look it up! I can't edit it now, but thanks for the heads up.

Well, it can't honestly get much worse than the NG network currently is.

Thank god for the likes of the BBC who still make good programming documentaries about nature (David Attenborough) and science (Brian Cox).

Yes it can. Just think about Global Warming. This is bad business for Rupert Murdoch, so NG will not be covering it, or worse, will be slanting it toward the delusion it isn't a problem. Everything that organization touches is a propaganda machine for Rupert's investments. It's a sad day for science and nature.
