Its not sarcasm. The TV industry relies on advertising revenue. Advertising rates are based on the size of the audience watching a show live. Renewal and cancellation decisions are based on the size of the live audience + those that watch the show on their DVR within 3 days. |
Don't Netflix and other film/TV streaming app pay those TV companies money to stream their shows/films? Don't those companies also have to come to some sort of financial agreement in which the company allows them to stream thier content?
You are making it sound that TV is being strangled when that is far from the truth. The quality of TV hasn't changed over the years. Live audiences might have been lowered but so would of the viewing targets for it to get commisioned. They will have some formula that works out from the viewing figures how much money they will get from DVD, streaming etc.
Lower live viewing figure hasn't effected TV but rather the they way they predict how much revenue they pull in.
