"Live. Local. BROKEN News."

Live. Local. BROKEN News.  

Lost Remote's Cory Bergman takes the opportunity of the release of AR&D's book Live. Local. BROKEN News. The Re-engineering of Local TV” to comment on the sad state of the network/affilate relationship.

For example: "Networks and studios increasingly taking their video content directly to users. It’s only a matter of time before the network-affiliate model evaporates."

A blog post worh reading. (And read the comments as well.)

Is YouTube The New NBC ?

NBC Symphony

For 16 years, from late 1937 to early 1954 NBC had a symphony orchestra. Now YouTube has one as well.

I guess what is old is new again...

(And someone else draws the same comparison over Illeana Douglas' show on YouTube...)

Steve Rosenbaum

Thought provoking reading.

How to Network in the New Now:

People Network

Again Philip Hodgetts writes a blog entry that I am envious of. He says (but does not attribute) "...one expert suggests that 70% of media positions are filled from within someone’s ‘social’ network."

How true !
