[TV orNotTV] Finally, some numbers on cord-cutting

2018-03-17 Thread Kevin M.
Over 3 million cut their subscriptions to multi-channel services last year.
Subscriptions are down 7% since 2012.

There are a lot of other stats in the article, and it doesn’t have a lot of
breakdown or analysis, but a drop that massive affects every aspect of TV
production, from the content creators to the studios to the networks to the
providers.

I suspect between now and the fall season, there will be more stories about
massive layoffs.

He did have something of a TV career, said IMDB 
 (link)... besides the applicable 
Tonys ceremony, he guested in an episode of "Kojak," and was in the 2009 
remake of *Day of the Triffids*, made-for-BBC filmed in Canada. Even 
appeared on "Donahue," with others from the original cast.

Are you seeing other newsgroups on the side?

I feel so betrayed.

Re: [TV orNotTV] NCAA Tournament question

2018-03-17 Thread 'Bob Jersey' via TVorNotTV

The near-eternal question WRT the tourney was finally answered after over 
30 years late last night, as #16 seed Maryland-Baltimore County, the 
Retrievers from the America East Conference, trounced a suddenly-sputtering 
Virginia side by 20, crushing millions who'd had the Cavaliers taking the 
trophy... ESPN 

 
(link)

The statmeisters at FiveThirtyEight didn't even have this UMBC bunch as the 
most likely to do the deed... that would have been the nearby Penn Quakers 

 
in Philly (link)
