End round one.
The newspaper business is finished.
Now, comes round two. Â
TV Networks.
If they don’t make some really major changes really fast they are going to end up just like their old pals, the newspapers. Â Out of business.
But my guess is that they will move as slowly and reluctantly as newspapers did; that is if they move at all.
The recently reported talks between Comcast and NBC Universal are just the canary in the coalmine. Â Soon comes the deluge.
As Claire Atkinson reported in Broadcasting & Cable last week:
“We simply believe GE is tired of owning content and is looking to monetize a non-core asset at a time when the future of media assets appears less certain than at anytime in the past decade.”
” Comcast is looking to prevent itself from becoming a dumb pipe, ‘in a world where any consumer can shoot HD quality video with a device that fits in the palm of your hand (flip cam), edit it for free and distribute it for free globally, Comcast’s control of your video viewing life is dissipating’.â€

I JUST heard a funny ad that made me think of you. ABC was advertising one of their new shows and the big “announcer” voice comes on and says … “Watch it … while it is happening.” LOL! Is that their response to TiVo and DVR … don’t fast forward through the commercials, watch it “live” when it’s not even a live show? Made me laugh so I had to pass it along …
