Honestly, TVLand could maybe work with reality shows and original comedy but here's the catch. They CAN NOT edit the hell out of there classic shows. I think if they stopped doing that AND stopped with so many commercials, then I think half the battle is done. In fact, even if you wanted reality shows and/or original comedy at night, I'd fill my whole day with these shows:

Andy Griffith
Happy Days
Leave it to Beaver
The Facts of Life
Father Knows Best
I Love Lucy
The Wonder Years
Laverne and Shirley

Now tell me if that lineup was in the daytime or hell even the night time that wouldnt draw?

It can lead to more sales if people watching decide to buy DVDs, if they're available. These days, companies need to explore all their options and embrace the digital age.

Yes...even YouTube now has a buy option for shows and movies.

One day...DVDs may go away for buying shows and saving them on the computer...heck, it's starting now.
