    The case of the Fashion Channel exhibited possible failures and multiple problems. After thorough review of the case I felt the core problem is the failure to focus on a specific demographic. TFC had run off the marketing strategy of “something-for-everyone” for plenty of years and found success in this untouched niche of fashion television.
