Contemplating Life – Episode 100 – “The Death of Broadcast TV”
Sep 2700:25:58Tap to summarizeIn this episode, I bemoan the lack of new or innovative content on broadcast TV based on the offerings of this new fall season. We also take a statistical look at the recent Emmy awards and notice that the few broadcast and basic cable shows nominated did not earn any wins. AppleTV+ and other streaming services dominated the landscape. Although all of my podcasts are listenable, this one includes charts and spreadsheets that you may want to view on the YouTube version.Links of Interest for this episodeNote: Normally, I would provide links to every TV show mentioned, but this link list would be massive.
