It was like in Samoa when they'd put up a movie screen on the beach and show movies and the locals would run behind the sheet to see where the people went. It was pretty grim.

The agendas on the management side of the table now are not in sync like they used to be because you have vastly different entities supplying programming to networks.

The heart and soul of network programming is series programming, the weekly repetition of characters you like having in your house.

Drama or comedy programming is still the surest way for advertisers to reach a mass audience. Once that changes, all bets are off.

The threat to free television. The reason television is free is because it is a life support system for commercials. That fundamental aspect is about to change.

It's show business. No show, no business.

The environment doesn't change that radically. You are still going to go home at night and NBC is going to be there, ABC and CBS will still be there.
