Where this will all end is with the upcoming generation that watches no network TV. Our teen and young 20s grandchildren do the online streaming events and Netflix. If I owned media stock, I’d sell.
for 15 years or so the big cable companies and directv have been asked to offer cafeteria style programming. Not to mandate all newtworks many of which people don’t want. Finally the streaming services got it and offer a lower, price ,and no channels.
Yup. The Nielsen ratings for viewers under 35 is tiny. I think network TV will eventually be sports and reality shows.
I don’t watch any real tv. I stream everything. I prefer no commercials and binge watching. I usually watch 2-3 episodes in a row of something. Even the shows that are currently running I don’t watch on tv. Won’t watch them for a few weeks in a row and then catch up.
