"The broadcast networks as we know them are in true peril. They will barely have audiences under the age of 40 in the next three to five years." Jeffrey Cole, director of the Center for the Digital Future, a think tank at the University of Southern California.And you wondered why there are so many erectile dysfunction and old fart drug TV commercials...
I don't watch network television anymore it is cheaply produced realty TV, they created their own demise. Cheap will get you Cheap, and people who consume cheaply made TV usually can't afford to buy the sponsor's products. Not really brain surgery- minimal logic need be applied.
ReplyDeleteCan they get an audience back? Not with what they are offering and the shroud of Politically Correct Speech and Expression, holding back any real creative programing. They sold out and now they get to reap the results "no one is watching" Why? The majority doesn't agree with the Socialist- Politically Correct Agenda, the brainwashing didn't work but the mass appeal of pablum like American Idol worked. The trick to equating The Presidency of the U.S. to a personality contest.
Sow the wind, and reap the whirlwind.
If they really want eyeballs, they need to start hiring talented writers, and give them some creative license.
Networks- Stop with the Green Preaching - In fact stop with all the Preaching. People really don't like to be Preached at or to FYI.
It's already dead. They just don't know it yet. It ain't passing the smell test.
ReplyDeleteThe networks are the critters who stopped evolving years ago.
ReplyDeleteWho watches the crap on the networks anymore? Not with all the choices both on cable and online...
ReplyDeleteThe networks are still alive. Even today, the highest rated cable show would be cancelled immediately if those numbers came up on broadcast tv. But the story is only wrong on timing. Network tv is on life support.
