Estimates are one thing and reality is another, I’m sure with some PBS programs the savings are more and some are less. It really depends on the programming. We still have about the same amount of pilots as we did pre-PBS so that tells me the savings haven’t been realized or they were a lot smaller in reality. I think we’d notice 1,500 less guys here...
