TV is far from dead. The internet (IMHO) is more like a ’supplement’ to television. It can never replace it fully.

Yes. The landscape is changing and I also regularly watch out-of-market and network streams. My point was that from the article, I’m not seeing anything new.

therefore, it was ME that posted i was watching thehawaiichannel.com . which actually bolsters the googguy’s postulation that the “traditional” broadcast is dying and simultaneously the future is pretty bright; i have a longtime connection to the islands… as i do the windy city and south florida too. the “traditional” 60 mile radus that broadcasters fought so hard to protect is now wide open to “foreign” competition.

the only thing to hash out is to monetize my eyeballs… which we have just about fleshed out here several times over.

but i still watch a lot less “traditional” tv.

As someone earlier said, they were watching Hawaii television via the web, but it’s still television and its primary market is still Hawaii; “West Wing” stayed on for so long because it had high income viewers and before them, “Frasier” may have held that distinction; Sears product-placements and targets ads during Ty Pennington, etc. etc. etc.

With hundreds of channels and video-on-demand, there’s a multitude of ways to reach a targeted niche audience and that’s pretty much common knowledge. It didn’t take a Google executive to tell anyone, nor was he needed to say that advertisers should try to make ads that people won’t skip (something that’s been around for over a decade) and his Adwords plug really was just that and nothing more. If anything, how would “Google, keyword moon & stars” really differ from “for more of The Apprentice, go to Yahoo.com”?

that’s a relative term- see the story below where “a study found” broadband users actually watch more network tv.

right.

Uh… Target your content and your advertising and because a Google Search wouldn’t be an audience measure by itself, buy Adwords, so they can treat it like AOL did their keywords in the 90s and that’ll help Google become a portal… er… almost a monopoly… ah…maintain their dominance. (Yeah, that’s the ticket)

coal in your stocking too!!!

sob.
