In a recent comparison of broadcast tv today vs. 1975, there is a questioning – was tv back them, when half-a-billion viewers (yes, with same people viewing multiple shows) would tune in to watch All in the Family, Sanford & Son, and the others in the top ten – was it something we should want?
Now, a the top ten shows are lucky to get 10% of that.
But times change. Now it’s a lot easier to get the content that resonates with us. And that leaves room for niches that wouldn’t otherwise exist.
