One year Funimation tried to gain more exposure to their Channel by having an NYCC panel JUST to talk about that, not to announce Funimation's news or new show acquisitions. I guess that failed. For one, it wasn't hosted by either Justin Rojas, Laura Moore, or Chad from Screwattack, and the panel was relegated to a small room.
... which is what you'd expect would happen if you try to plug a linear cable channel in 2017 when young people already abandoned cable since 2006!!
