Funny, that. Because when I posted these views of Colin Callander, former HBO president and more recently an exec producer on the BBC's Wolf Hall:
Quote:
Callender (pictured) added that he has faith in the future of linear television despite the rise of on-demand producers such as Netflix and Amazon.
“At HBO we always talked about getting that watercooler moment, people talking about it round the watercooler," he said.
That can only happen on linear television. That doesn’t happen in the on-demand landscape. The power of linear television is at its best is when it generates that communal sense of excitement about something that has been a shared experience."

So, to summarise, when an industry insider agrees with you, he "knows a thing or two", but when he doesn't, he's simply pushing his own self-interest.
If you ever wondered why most contributors in this thread aren't taking your arguments very seriously, this is why.
