Comments on: Why TV Lost http://voices.allthingsd.com/20090304/why-tv-lost/ from other Web sites Tue, 07 Feb 2012 04:42:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Mark Sigal http://voices.allthingsd.com/20090304/why-tv-lost/comment-page-1/#comment-1520 Mark Sigal Thu, 05 Mar 2009 18:31:35 +0000 http://voices.allthingsd.com/?p=9087#comment-1520 Personally, I think that Paul's piece is dead on. It doesn't necessarily mean that all big media companies are stupid or dinosaurs, just that their core anchors are disintegrating. That said, as the above commenter notes, distribution and advertising in the big media model are pretty potent (I worry more about the content defensibility). The counter to that is that someone will get the episodic web programming model right, and as services like justin.tv suggest, there is a realm of internet-powered live broadcasting that could establish new media beachheads, ala CNN/MTV/ESPN for the Broadband Era, something I blogged about in: Flip Video News Network (a RIGHT HERE NOW service) http://thenetworkgarden.com/weblog/2009/03/right-here-now-flip-video-news-network.html Check it out if interested.

Ultimately he's left only talking about TV, like it is a broadcast network (NBC). He loses all of this: - Big TV content wins. - Big TV delivery (cable) wins. - Big TV advertising wins. http://www.morganwarstler.com/post/83348608/paul-graham-swings-and-misses-what-he-doesnt-get Paul’s point so small it is hardly worth making.
