Broadcast Television Industry In Same Place Newspaper Industry Was Five Years Ago

Broken Television

Harry Blodget says the traditional broadcast television industry (i.e., cable companies, networks, and broadcasters) is in the same place traditional newspapers were about five years ago:  In denial.

Here’s the best part, according to Blodget:

You won’t have five channels, or 50 channels, or 500 channels. You’ll have millions of channels. You’ll be able to watch anything you want, live or taped. You’ll be able to watch it wherever you want — TV, computer, mobile device. You won’t have to sorry about “slinging” video content around or programming your DVR. You’ll just plug a pipe (internet) into a box (device) and watch.
