I concur. However, if this economy continues on the spiral,
advertisers will have less $ to put into program sponsorship and what
will that mean for the quality of programming?
We had this sort of problem when South Africa was under sanctions and
the economy as a whole completely plummeted. The quality of
programming went through the floor (cheap sets, programming almost
reaching the production quality of a camera on a tripod pointing at a
theater stage).
People still watched though. But that was before the internet, so the
boob tube and daily newspaper were the only two sources of
entertainment.
