This kind of crap response is not what we are looking for on OpenDTV.
Once again, the obvious has to be belabored for Craig, evidently!
I can't always second-guess what you're trying to say. It was not clear whether
you were referring this to your previous statements about retrans consent,
which this example disproves convincingly, or what. I certainly was not
expecting Craig to question why news would be live, though.
If, as you say, LIVE linearTV is dying, WHY would Twitter and Bloomberg
create a Live linear news network?
Get it?
Belaboring:
Craig, we have long known that one of the few examples of "live" that remains
in demand is ... news. Furthermore, in a previous post refuting your ideas on
retrans consent, I pointed out that CBSN (CBS News online) has been available,
live and FOTI, for a good long time already. *And* also without any retrans
consent to local broadcasters involved.
Now do you get it? Live online content is available, with no retrans consent to
local broadcasters. Just because live news is still in demand, this does not
diminish the fact that well over half of TV content is consumed on demand. The
very vast majority of what broadcasters (or other sources) transmit, over a 24
hour period, is better viewed on demand, in other words. And live online
content is available with no retrans consent to local broadcasters in the
equation, which should tell us that this is not model for the future to rely on.
