In Reply to: Who would waste money on a new "Television" ? A completely dead medium ! posted by Bambi B on September 8, 2009 at 05:37:27:
tv programming and its near complete unwatchability. So I watch only
a movie on TCM now and then, and of course football. However ... the
NFL is becoming unwatchable because of the constant commercials;
college football is not nearly so commercial-filled.
We have to remember: tv, radio, newspapers, magazines are sales
media first and foremost. Their supposed use or mission to
convey information or entertainment is but a thin veneer for their
real purpose. A good radio/tv personality MUST be able to sell
product or away he/she goes.
