As a TV professional I've been trying to wake people up in this business to the fact that it really doesn't matter what quality it is, all that matter is people are watching. Which company would you rather own - the one with the "all-professional" crew that gets 500 viewers and loses $1 million a year or the company with a few guys with handheld cameras and a laptop that gets 1000 viewers and makes $1 million? It's extreme to make a point, but TV broadcasters need to get real. I'm sure the last guy selling horseless carriages thought they were far superior to the clunky, smoky unreliable automobiles.
