First they came for the late afternoon timeslots, then the 9am one, then soaps, now late night - the beast is not well.
People have lives and the internet in their hand. It’s amazing daytime TV has lasted so long.It’s of viewers in nursing homes, waiting rooms, laundry mats, people home sick, and the homes of shut ins.

First they came for the late afternoon timeslots, and I did nothing.
Then the 9am one, and I did nothing.
Then soaps, and I did nothing.

The soaps are still hanging on. On life support.

In 1970, there were 20 daytime network soap operas.

Be thankful for what we have, and the NAACP only monitored the first two episodes of Beyond the Gates.

I can’t think of the last time I watched something on a local network affiliate. I watched the SNL 50th stuff on Peacock. The sad part is, I worked in TV news for years. I just don’t care anymore. All these network executives think it’s still 1980 and everyone comes home, sits down, watches the news and three hours of Law and Orders with 2 hours of commercials crammed in. That’s not how it works.
The people on the news side are worse.

Do they have real data to make these claims about Netflix? Isn’t that secret?
