It\u2019s relatively easy to sample without knowing storylines or requiring an ending. Launching a destination with an already large library of content should attract those that have enjoyed particular shows or have popular lifestyle interests in nature, science, cars, food and home improvement while still being able to explore others they may not have seen.
