I know nothing about business, but it seems really odd to me that this would be their strategy. Wouldn't it be better for them to just let the shows air normally (for optimal ratings), run out their season, and then just not renew them? Seems weird that they would kind of jump through so many hoops in this relatively complex plan to kill off some of their shows, hurting themselves in the process.
