Who Needs The Broadcast Networks?

Great column from Wayne [Friedman].

It's content, not the delivery medium, that is important. I mostly watch the various HBO series and a little Comedy Central.

NBC reportedly is dumping their 10 p.m. line-up. If they dump the original "Law & Order," I will only be watching 1 NBC program -- "The Office." It seems like they are using the Big 3 automakers' death spiral of providing lower quality to save money, followed by an exodus of customers.

Having recently bought a couple of Showtime programs on DVD, and coupled with my HBO, I have very little need for broadcast networks. Internet TV doesn't seem feasible for my use right now. Personally, I'd rather see an Internet program with commercials than pay for it.
