Re: Broadcast and Comercial TV is dead
"Content makers needs to allow global release of their shows via one or other of these means, this would give them maximum revenue and exposure for their product."
Correct sir, have an upvote. Quick example : couple of weeks ago, for whatever reason, Match of the Day didn't timeshift on my youview box. So, I took to iPlayer, in the hope that the stupid premier league rights issues have been sorted. It would seem not, MOTD wasn't available till after monday night or something. So, in the face of such complete daffyness, I torrented it. Within the time it took me to make a cup of tea, I was watching an HD copy, and was able to skip past the shite being talked by Robbie Savage.
People are looking for convenience and quality and timely delivery. The traditional broadcasters can either profit from this, or be destroyed.
