TV Business May Be Starting to Collapse
- wavephorm 14y agoIt's just a (probably accurate) prediction. There are no numbers given that back up any of these claims.
- jannotti 14y agoThat's a little unfair. Toward the end of the article, there are stats about monthly television viewership, and monthly viewership of content on computers. In particular that there are now more people who watch TV on a computer once a month than on a television. (Though I'm sure the cumulative hours is still way higher for television.) That said, you're right that is predicting a trend that will happen, so doesn't try hard to show that it has.
- moistgorilla 14y agoI don't see television or news lasting another 15 years. The internet is just too convenient.
- JaakkoP 14y agoI don't think that TV would completely disappear. I'd see it rather changes forms in one way or another. For example, there might be just a different way to monetize streaming video in TV. That would be similarly convenient for the user as online videos are, and yet it would allow the broadcasters to have an ability to set up large scale ad campaigns. After all, while it is clearly diminishing, the power of networks is still strong. I doubt they are that dumb they wouldn't see what's happening and thus let the opportunity slip from their hands.
