This is very interesting and insightful. While the broadcasting would seem more efficient (and cheaper in many respect) than webcasting for the live content, the former can't quite serve multiple devices with varying form-factors with the same efficiency. The latter can. Isn't that a key differentiation? Cheers, Rajiv Sent from my Phone On Jun 11, 2013, at 1:03 AM, "Michael Painter" <tvhawaii@shaka.com> wrote:

And, quite aside from broadcast networks protecting the ad revenues of their contracted affiliates -- the primary reason for most of the (from an engineering standpoint) stupidity surrounding the intersection of broadcasting and new technology -- social networking is beginning to drive this aspect, to the point where the Golden Globes stopped tape-delaying the west coast broadcast so those viewers didn't get spoiled on twitter. Thanks for your views, Eric. Cheers, -- jra
The Sportsbar I deal with has purchased every one of the Ultimate Fighting Championships PPV events (161). Now, after UFC's deal with FOX, the prelims for any fight on FUEL are only shown on...FACEBOOK.
Bad Craziness as Hunter Thompson would have said.
Thanks for everyone's comments. --Michael
