A short quote from the article, with corrections:

Quote

Bevan, who has served as executive director of programming since May 2005, has been behind some of GSN’s most popular shows including Camouflage, Chain Reaction and The National Vocabulary Championship.

Yes, Camouflage. Ironically, a show that is doing such a good job of hiding, it's only on weekend afternoons.

GSN is facing a slowly shrinking audience despite increasing carriage, and a senior programming exec gets promoted?

And yet, that explains many things about the mess GSN is in.

Peter principle?

Everyone else today does it (big business, current administration, etc.), so why shouldn't GSN join in?

But the web site's smokin'!!  :)

Which would make GSN, along with MSNBC, two cable networks where the profit center comes from the web site, not the cable channel itself.
