Public service can be defined many ways. Is it better to have less programming that is available on Netflix and Hulu or more programming that is available on Amazon? Amazon Prime has very wide reach, this may actually increase the number of kids with streaming access. If it did increase the number would you be for the move?
- rbanffy 10y agoHow can Amazon alone reach more people than Amazon, Netflix and Hulu combined? The difference will have to be huge to allow production of enough programming to offset the reduced streaming audience. I understand they cannot neglect the broadcast TV segment, but this is nuts. BTW, it's odd to me the Department of State doesn't see PBS as a powerful propaganda tool. It's your BBC.
