Perhaps a more immediate question might be:

Will there be a broadcast television industry after 2009?

I really think the digital broadcast standards that kick in the U.S. in '09 will be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Between YouTube, Netflix and PlayStation, I don't know anyone under the age of 30 who watches T.V. anymore. How many more people simply won't bother to make the switch to digital broadcast? How much longer will advertisers continue to support a declining market?

ABC, CBS, NBC and even PBS could all become just another DVD distributor....
