SCOTUS and Broadcast TV

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

SCOTUS and Broadcast TV

Post by genlock »

Justice Samuel Alito argued that the Court should not be wasting its time discussing broadcast TV. Why?

“Broadcast TV is living on borrowed time,” he said, much to the chagrin of the Fox lawyer. “It is not going to be long before it goes the way of vinyl records and eight-track tapes.”

“I’m sure my client is not thrilled to have you say that,” the Fox attorney replied.
"Everyone Should be aware that you're just a screen grab away from infamy."

That's why there's such a race to online content distribution models. But, as long as there are rural and poor people, ota will still exist in some form.

Still, ouch.
