They won’t be dead. But they will be different. They will have learned the lesson of the cable networks, that in a nation of this size a niche market can be huge. They try too hard for the mass appeal which often dumbs things down, they need to learn “this is our audience, let’s go get it”. You really only need to hook 3% of the populace to make serious money now, that’s 10 million people, plenty of companies will pay good cash to reach 10 million people.
True but I think you will have many new channels come up fast.
I see a lot of the older channels that is thrown in with the cable subscription vanishing.
There are increasing numbers of people just using their antennas. It’s difficult to believe that broadcasting is on the way “out” when more and more over-the-air networks are starting up. However, you don’t have to pay for these channels.
I miss having some of the sports which are broadcast only on cable, but those are available on the radio. Not entirely the same, certainly, as getting to see it, but it works - certainly better, to me, and paying a thousand extra bucks a year.
