Thanks for posting that, Steve. The two big things I took away were (1) the mass of indistinguishable cable networks are in trouble, including the once-niche ones whose broadening we've often decried.There's not much value in being one of four places to see Law and Order. (2) I think the idea of broadcast networks as something viewers can turn on and absorb passively will remain more powerful than visionaries foretell. There are many ways to get to something you actively want to watch, but if you're just looking for something to have on as you read the mail or whatever, there's still value to the classic network LCD programming. As long as NBC is easily available to just about everybody, there will a place for the Dick Wolf stuff that nobody will wait in line for.
