I would've preferred that Media General work out a deal with Ion to timeshare the Ion network, by airing qubo kids' programming during the day from 6 AM to 5 PM, and Ion during the evening and late night hours. I don't seem to show much interest in Ion's programs (at least the stuff being broadcast on their main channel).
