However, as has already been said, their strategy seems to be that they see how shows perform on other channels then, if they're a big hit, they'll swoop in with a bigger wad of cash and, essentially, nick the show.
And thats what they are doing is nicking these shows, its like a smaller football club bringing through a talented youngster and then as that youngster develops into a very good player one of the big teams comes in with a huge offer.
