12:47:53 <bay|Ota|CR> Q: When you say simulcast most shows, what happens with the shows you don't get, can you not secure them?
12:48:11 <bay|Ota|CR> A: What happens with shows is you bid on shows.. and we do have close relationships with a lot of licensors, so we always hope that during a season that we get their shows, but we never know for sure what we're going to get and what we're not going to get
12:48:24 <bay|Ota|CR> I can't say exactly everything that goes into licensing, but it's like a bidding ...war
12:48:41 <bay|Ota|CR> Q: Gundam series?
