The previously highly-aggregated content of television/radio now seems to have a sort of burnished nostalgic glow. I mean... "Dallas"? Really? Of course it burned out and faded away, but at least it was something. We now have meta-broadcast in the mold of "Deadwood"; some of it is striking. "Manhattan", "Vikings", "Fargo". Only Adult Swim seems to be moving content off the Internet onto cable, and I'm not sure about that frankly. It's not like "The Heart She Holler" has an audience other than people who studied Southern Gothic in college/read Faulkner in earnest. It's brilliant but... We are just talking to ourselves here. All the power struggles matter now, but they won't later. It'll all be absorbed as dead matter for whatever tree grows in this compost.
