A lot of people derided the man who said ' Television is just a flash in the pan'.Turns out he was right.No sense of regional identity, selling off of the BBC, erosion of proper investigative journalism & current affairs. All resulting in an endless stream of crap.When are they going to realise ,in the age of DVD video and programmes on demand, there's no need for endless repeats.If anything television is the perfect medium for well studied current affairs because News with little background can be shoved up on the net instantly and entertainment is pre-packed and ready to go.The U.K didn't always make the best programmes but we did have a brilliant system:BBC; NationalITV; RegionalCH4; MinorityI remember the excitment of visiting relatives or going on holiday and checking out their different television station (HTV, Tyne Tees, Anglia). Well that's all gone!When there are numorous channels to choose from. Isn't it better to stand out and be distictive rather than look like everyone else. We have lost something very precious and we won't get it back easily.

It"s hard for me not to think of these thoughts as a rehearsal for future meanings.

The future of TV is when TV realises that it's a medium and not a device... Look how popular the medium of radio is now that it's not stuck within one radio-device: net radio, podcasts, radio on your cable TV, pirate radio, digital radio... The medium is free from the device and the limits of that device, and hence can turn in loads of different directions - from pirates (ad hoc, local and live) to podcasts (planned, pre-recorded, portable and global), and styles from commercial on FM to anything goes on the net.

Radio has become anything we listen to in a certain way, whereas the TV is still the stupid box that sits in the corner of your living room.
