I once overheard a conversation between two cable TV industry executives who were very frank in their pessimism about the future. They were talking about cable news channels, but their assessment would apply across the board to TV in general.

Their basic point was that there are now so many TV channels available to viewers that almost none of them can generate the audience they need to justify the cost of operating the channel and developing content for the viewers. The industry has reached the point where it’s like having 25 different companies producing cars for a market where only 100,000 cars are sold every year. Nobody would sell enough cars to cover the cost of an auto manufacturing plant in that scenario.
