  • advertisers have been broadcasting themselves for decades and would very much prefer the status quo. The good news is that the status quo isn't long for this world.

    Lots
    of people can now watch themselves on sort-of TV, which is pretty fun in itself.
    The bonus is that others want to watch them, too
  • The networks say these are measures to promote the broadcast versions of their
    shows. The overwhelming probability is that the opposite is true, which bodes
    poorly for those invested in the status quo. One victim is local affiliates,
    which get a big chunk of their revenue from selling commercial space within
    network programs. The Internet, needless to say, bypasses them.

    Fragmentation
    has decimated audiences, viewers who do watch are skipping commercials,
    
    advertisers are therefore fleeing, the revenue for underwriting new content is
    therefore flatlining, program quality is therefore suffering (Dancing With
    the Stars. QED), which will lead to ever more viewer defection, which
    will lead to ever more advertiser defection, and so on.
  • Because, at least until recently, the Internet has lacked both the riveting
    content and ad space inventory to absorb it.

  • Altogether, this stuff constitutes a bottomless reservoir of short-form video
    content for others to siphon off if they choose
  • Until now, advertisers have underwritten mass media to reach mass audiences.
    Indeed, they've paid increasing premiums for the opportunity as audiences have
    shrunk, because even in a fragmented media world, the largest fragment – network
    TV – is the most valuable. But now they realize that they are losing not only
    mass but critical mass.

      This is why Youtube is essential to Myspace (I don't know about Facebook, never use it), because almost everyone has some stupid video of himself doing something illegal on Youtube, linked to his Myspace page. I never wanted to "Broadcast" anything, but that's how I endde up on Youtube doing karaoke, some idiot friend of mine posted it

  • Without being overly simplistic or melodramatic, the state of the Old Commercial Broadcasting Model can be summarized like this: a spiraling vortex of ruin.

  • NBC used Yahoo to premiere Heroes and AOL to offer sneak previews of its Twenty Good Years and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. And the brand-new CW Network celebrated its debut by posting for free Runaway and Everybody Hates Chris on MSN. Counting cable, dozens of networks are now making programs available online.
