It kinda did.
Free TV is mostly horrendous where I am. Tons of ads, terrible content. Radio as well.
The only sources with quality and range are community radio (free but dependent on subscriptions) and community television (only people willing to show World Cup, but now unfortunately needing ads to support themselves) and premium services like HBO.
Private models with advertising as the revenue eventually seem to be a race to the bottom to get eyeballs on ads with as creativity and production cost as possible.
- dinkumthinkum 12y agoNot everyone agrees with you, though. You represent a very particular demographic. Not everyone thinks, clearly, that Free TV is horrendous. I know that sounds like a bold statement .... but there are billions of dollars that seem to backup my statement.
- e12e 12y agoThis is ignoring quite a few European TV and radio channels that are funded by (various forms of) taxation?
