The On Demand Future of TV
Aired: Monday, November 14, 2005 11-12PM ET
By host Tom Ashbrook:
There is a gusher of news from the world of television lately - and
maybe the end, we're told, of TV as we know it. The common theme is
the collision of television and the Internet, and everything going
"on demand."
Haven't had enough of "The Fugitive," "Eight is Enough," or "Welcome
Back Cotter"? There is news today that Warner Brothers and AOL will
put them all on line.
Last week, CBS and NBC announced 99-cent downloads, on demand, of
prime-time fare: CSI, Law & Order and more. ABC is pushing "Lost" and
"Desperate Housewives" through i-Tunes. The electronic hearth of
television is being shattered.
Hear about on demand and on your own, in TV-land.
