    Comet is my last remaining good channel for movies.

    Comet is the last remaining channel, in my area, that has reliably good movies. Comet will often feature a good, recent enough, movie. How did we get here? ThisTV, which was one of the few channels to still feature recent enough good movies, has ended in my area, and seems to have stopped...

    Are CBS, NBC, and ABC in decline?

    From the associated press, "CBS’ prime-time viewership was down 18% from the previous year, as was second-place NBC’s. ABC was down 14% and Fox lost 33% of its audience, Nielsen said." I notice a lot of stations are airing more and more filler programs such as live sitcom rerun reenactments...

    Are Network OTA channels in Steep decline?

    CBS, NBC, ABC, and CW have seemed in decline for awhile but are they in actual steep decline? What is their future? I know they are probably going to get more and more viewers from their streaming side but will they just continue to fill their over-the-air waves with "cheap fillers." In other...

    "THIS" Tv's future after Amazon buys MGM.

    THIS TV plays movies from the MGM film library. What will happen to THIS TV after Amazon buys MGM? The only thing I could find is that "On October 28, 2020, Byron Allen's Allen Media Group (which also controls Entertainment Studios) announced that it would be buying This TV and Light TV from MGM."

    Young and Restless Production Value Is Way Down

    I check in on the Young and Restless from time to time and the production value is way down. In the last episode I watched, they kept everyone in a chair during the scenes. This meant no blocking (no moving around the set). So, they didn't have to do much work on lighting, camerawork, or...

    TV ad spending could decline by $5 billion from 2019 to 2023

    Media companies are quickly moving more content online and launching their own ad-supported streaming services. But the shift to streaming probably isn't enough to fully offset the decline in TV ad spending. Where ad budgets are shifting Ad budgets aren't just shifting from traditional linear...

    How will most people stack streaming services?

    Why did cable get so expensive? Was it the content creators asking for more money? If so, will this trend continue with streaming? In other words, how will most people eventually consume and stack services? Will people buy an average of 2-3 services for instance and keep them year round...

    Best iview and homeworx?

    Does anyone recommend the iview or homeworx for simple OTA recording? I like that I wouldn't have to connect internet with it. Unfortunately, it would probably become obsolete once ATSC 3.0 goes in to effect. But maybe they'll make converter boxes for ATSC 3.0 too! They also seem clunky and...

    What is the actual advantage of having a ROKU box as opposed to just getting a tablet that is connected to the internet? I know ROKU advertises thousands of free content but is any of that stuff even good? What does a ROKU actually give you that simply using the internet does not?

    Commercials for 4K Antenna

    There are now commercials advertising the New 4K Antenna. I remember when they did this with "New HD Antennas." Of course, it's not the antenna that determines what you can receive. Any antenna will work. hehe.
