Is there a future in Streaming for networks?

Question

Perhaps we're not all going to watch good shows like Studio 60, The Black Donnellys, or ______ (insert the name of YOUR favorite show that got cancelled here) at 8:00 on a Monday night.

But do you think the networks would be willing to stream these episodes online for us to watch on demand if we also watch Advertising?

I watched an episode of "Brothers and Sisters" recently on-line. They forced me to watch a total of three commercials for "The Principal Financial Group" interspersed with the episode, but that wasn't bad. The video quality was great, even full-screen, and the commercials were all 25 seconds in length. I'd love to watch ALL of my shows on demand instead of when the network decides to broadcast them.

What do YOU think?

Answer 1

I think there is a future in it.
I personally am frustrated with what is on tv, and if instead of tivo-ing, I can just go to the episodes on demand, hey I would.

Plus if someone in my family "ACCIDENTALLY" erased my tivo-ing I wouldn't be mad, because I know I could go to the streaming on demand service of the network.

Additionally, I would love to sit down and watch a marathon of ____ show, because I have had a rough day at work, all the better. :)

My answer is yes.

Answer 2

It is possible, but you'd probably have to pay to see them
