There’s a perfect storm brewing in television land. Changing media consumption patterns mean people watch less TV.  Advertisers shift money away from the screen to other media. And to make things really interesting, both Googlewood and the cable companies are gearing up to disintermediate the broadcasters.   Time to pack up ?  I don't think so.

One of the biggest reasons why broadcasters don't throw all of the programming they buy online, is the complaint that producers don't allow the use of their content unless the broadcaster can guarantee that the programme is only watched in it's designated territory.  This cannot be done on the internet.  Or can it ?

This is the first of a few blogposts in which I intend to focus on broadcasting and the internet.  They will be short posts as I don't want to rehash the usual stories, yet try and raise a few questions that haven't yet been covered elsewhere.  In the end, I'll probably bundle it in a report (if you want a copy, drop me a note).

If you want to have a look at real media innovation, these days public broadcasters are the place to be.
