  TV networks increase number of shows available on Net - The Boston Globe
Millions of television show episodes have been streamed over the Web by broadcast networks over the past month, with ``Heroes" and ``Jericho" emerging as favorites among people who watch TV on computers.
For primetime shows, the bulk of computer viewing is done to catch up on an episode missed on TV, and is often done within a day of when the shows air, said Albert Cheng, ABC's digital chief.
The network is experimenting with shows it believes fit the profile of an online viewer, he said.

TV networks here can get by with tiny crews because they can rely on the all-inclusive world TV feed.
That feed, largely using TV crews that cover their assigned Olympic sports on a regular basis outside the Games, deploys about 500 cameras to produce 900 hours of coverage meant to capture every moment of Olympic action in an unbiased fashion meant to play in Sydney or Stockholm or Seoul.
While Olympic TV outside the USA generally is based around showing endless sports action from the world TV feed, foreign networks have all sorts of wrinkles that differ from U.S. broadcasting.

 TV networks embrace the YouTube model - Boston.com
Reality TV, of course, has been a huge beneficiary of the public's desire to be on TV -- as have older shows like "America's Funniest Home Videos" and "Candid Camera." But, now, contestants might shoot, edit and star in video that gets them on a program.
Network news divisions have also increasingly used video shot by citizens with their phones to document events like Michael Richards' racist rant at a Los Angeles comedy club.
As long as that desire to be on TV remains -- and as long as the masses are eager to work on the cheap -- television is likely to continue to capitalize on viewer-generated entertainment.

 Who's Afraid of the TV Networks?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The announcement that Viacom and CBS are merging strikes this veteran of the regulatory and antitrust wars as a delicious denouement to another episode in Washington's theater of the absurd.
The alleged abuses that led the FCC in 1972 to bar the networks from engaging in the "syndication" of reruns were always just short of absurd.
As a result, it dusted off a dubious monopolization case against the three networks, which the networks later settled by agreeing to abide by the FCC rules that were already in place and to limit their own production of prime-time programming.

The peacock network that was applauded for embracing YouTube earlier this summer, now seems to have its feathers ruffled.
Now that it has, networks don't like the word "free streaming" and seem to have forgotten what they were trying to do in the first place.
When it comes to networks like NBC, they should start paying attention to their own numbers: According to Neilsen Media Research, NBC came in third in October with the 18-to-48 demographic behind CBS and ABC.

Given the sunk costs of a TV show that’s already been produced, you would think there would be some people willing to take a second chance on a program that, for whatever reason, didn’t work out on one of the networks.
When a tv network has a new pilot that no one has seen, it’s really hard for them to judge if it will be well-liked or not.
Network television shows run at a huge deficit until they are syndicated (commonly referred to as reruns).

TV on demand is where it is at (Think 16 years of simpsons episodes Vs star wars episode 3 which would get downloaded to watch the most?) geeks are not watching these on their PC anymore, everyone is moving towards a mod-chipped Xbox running XBMC.
TV has been able to be download for many years now with the aid of many different types of programs Bittorrent is just the latest thing in fashion.

 Mass Media Course: TV Network Ratings
The golden age of TV was also a golden age for the television networks — except for under-financed DuMont Television Network, which operated from 1946 to 1956 and then folded.
In the case of both WB and UPN, the main objective was to have TV station outlets for the material their associated film studios produced.
Since newspapers and TV programs constantly refer to the ratings of shows, understanding how they work is essential in evaluating the success of shows.

 The Wall Street Journal Classroom Edition
Recently, after weeks of double-checking its data and fighting with the television networks, Nielsen notified TV executives in a letter that men age 18 to 34, a demographic group coveted by advertisers, are watching between 8% and 12% less prime-time TV than they did last year, a sharp decline.
The TV networks started complaining in September when their new shows launched and many didn't get the ratings numbers among young viewers that the networks expected.
Advertisers pay the networks a premium to reach younger viewers, because their brand loyalties are still forming and they are harder to reach-the median age of most networks is well into the 40s.

Most TV viewers and internet users don't want to cozy up to their computers to watch a 30 minute long program where you're also forced to watch 6 minutes of ads.

In another TV drama, a captive, who can breathe only through straws in her nose, is chained, beaten, and finally suffocated.
The difference, especially in the case of the broadcast networks, is that TV reaches far deeper into homes, including those with impressionable children.
One heard often is that networks are under ratings pressure from cable channels such as HBO, whose "Sopranos" and "Oz" have been praised by critics for their strong writing and acting but are also marked by frequent and graphic violence.

 TV networks blissfully ignore their TiVo problem - May. 19, 2006
TV Network execs talked a lot about technology at their upfronts but skilllfully avoided any discussion about how TiVo and other digital video recorders are changing the business.
And now that the networks have all shown their hands, there is still a sense that they may all have an uphill battle on their hands.
Sure, all the networks went out of their way to stress to advertisers how tech-savvy they were and how they could help advertisers "extend their message" through things like broadband video streams of hit shows, online social networking tie-ins and "mobisodes" for cell phones.

 TV.com Forums - Can certain TV networks prevent VCR recordings?
Yes, but there's no law stopping the networks (or anyone else) from making it extremely difficult for people to make that one copy.
I've certainly heard of it - the pay TV network here now offers new release movies as pay-per-view extras, and you're only supposed to have one day to watch it (similar to an overnight DVD rental).
It may be the same sort of system that discourages people from taping a DVD (a signal is sent which is ignored by the TV set but causes the recording on the VCR to fluctuate in brightness).

Most alarming for the networks is the drop in viewers for their traditional scripted sitcoms and dramas.

 TV networks may form anti-YouTube cabal | Tech News on ZDNet
Four major TV networks are considering creating a jointly owned Web site to offer their programming online rather than have to chase down pirated clips on YouTube, a source close to the talks confirmed Monday.
Spokespeople from the four networks either did not return calls seeking comment or declined to comment on the talks, which were first reported Saturday by The Wall Street Journal.
ABC parent Walt Disney is not participating in the talks, preferring to go it alone, while the group snubbed a proposal from News Corp., which also owns Fox, to use its MySpace social-networking site as the host of the video, the source said.

Networks like ESPN Deportes, owned by the Walt Disney Co., and NBC Universal's Telemundo are part of the most aggressive media conglomerates pursuing multiplatform business.
Just as AOL is giving Hispanic TV brands a leg up with online distribution, so too is MobiTV helping the networks migrate their TV content to mobile devices — everything from phones to personal digital assistants to laptops.

 TV Networks Gear Up For Telling 'Upfront' Talks - WSJ.com
The primetime "upfront" ad-sales session, when broadcast-TV networks try to secure ad commitments for their fall TV season, is still two months away.
Last year, the broadcast-TV networks suffered a drop in their total upfront take to between $9.2 billion and $9.4 billion, from about $9.5 billion in 2004.
At least two TV networks, NBC and ABC, want to sell their ad time with these new figures.

 Future for TV networks lies in the past - Opinion - theage.com.au
If, as expected, the three commercial networks change hands in the next 18 months, the new owners and operators will face new threats to their ratings, challenges unlike anything they have ever experienced.
The networks may be blindsided by these changes, but none can claim ignorance: the writing has been on the wall for years.
There's another big danger for the networks: once audiences learn how to download their own TV shows, they'll discover other sites, such as Google Video and YouTube, that have hundreds of thousands of programs available for download, most of which cost nothing.

Mitofsky balked, saying that the TV Networks actually own it and he was not able to release it without their permission.
By itself it is not obscured by "analysis." The networks can evaluate and analyze it all they want, but they should also give others a chance to look at the same numbers and draw their own conclusions.
