That does seem to be the case. I don't really know what the broadcast
industry should be doing. But I would have much more sympathy for them
if they appeared to be trying to do at least something.
Since last summer I am no longer employed in that industry. But when I
was I met a fair number of people who appeared to hope they could keep
things going just long enough to retire. It was rather sad and not at
all a good sign.
