Yes, if you are prepared to sit down and watch whatever is thrown at you, traditional broadcasting is fine. Has it really come to that, though? Are we really that pathetic as a nation that we are happy to sit and watch anything?
Your i-Pad/YouTube example is strange. I thought we were talking about TV. You live in a world of your own, jfman!  |
Ah so the broadcasters will go... Once the viewers give up. Yet you can't say when that will happen, as demonstrated time and again the most popular content remains on linear TV and the original broadcast gets most hits.
I don't think dismissing parental concern, as you just have, is reasonable. I think it actually shows, somewhat unsurprisingly, how out of touch you are. It's little wonder you see a narrow and bleak future given you can't understand the complex depth of viewing choices.
I think it's pathetic that statistically one in fifty people currently streaming from the'vast and wide range of content available are watching Friends. All day every day, the same rubbish getting peddled over and over.
