		<description><![CDATA[There are all kinds of nonproductive approaches to saving fan favorites that are Nielsen ratings challenged. People dream all the time.  They dream that because they believe that Nielsen is an antiquated system, the ratings aren&#8217;t accurate and shouldn&#8217;t matter.  One way or the other, for now, they&#8217;re dreaming.  When it comes to that kind [...]]]></description>

Wow, everyone and their mother is writing about Mark Cuban being accused by the SEC of insider trading violations.
Mark says the charges are false, but can&#8217;t really say much more.
I&#8217;ve seen people comparing this case to Martha Stewart&#8217;s. Stewart didn&#8217;t go to jail because of insider trading violations.  In fact, I think even the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Like Mr. Gorman, I am a fairly black and white person.  But when it comes to the topic of whether there&#8217;s any value to the ads viewed while fast-forwarding during DVR playback, I think the answer must be, &#8220;yes, there is *some* value, but not nearly as much as actually watching the commercial.&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[Due mostly to comments on this blog, I&#8217;ve thought a lot more than I otherwise would&#8217;ve about why some shows appeal to a broad audience and some shows don&#8217;t.
For purposes of this discussion, I am making no commentary regarding the quality of shows.  Quality is a very subjective metric.  There are many factors [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ 
Today I saw several stories that the public has weighed in, and 62% of us say TV programs are getting worse according to a new poll by the Associated Press and AOL Television.  Only 22% said it was getting better.  Yet, according to Nielsen, average time spent watching TV keeps going up! 
Those two data [...]]]></description>

My mind is struggling with the low impact of DVR usage for the top syndicated shows.  I can’t reconcile Bill Gorman’s post of the data for the Top Time-Shifted Syndicated shows the week ending 8/19 with either the logic my mind uses or the Tivo “most recorded shows” &#8211; where Oprah is routinely in the top 10.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s not clear it ever had any groove in the first place, even though I have personally been a Tivo lover for 9 years running.   This article on NewTeeVee.com, part of the burgeoning Om Malik empire, hypothesisizes on ways for Tivo to get its groove back.  I posted a comment there, but [...]]]></description>

Seth Godin refers to it as the death of the &#8220;TV-Industrial Complex&#8221;. Some refuse to believe that this is occurring. They&#8217;re wrong, it&#8217;s in progress.
&#160;
Apple is reportedly considering a plan that would cut the price of downloads of individual TV episodes from $1.99 to $.99. Obviously the studio heads aren’t thrilled with the concept. I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I admittedly found Fake Steve Jobs (FSJ) more fun before I knew who he was in real life and of his ties to legacy (and dying) print media.  In this recent FSJ entry, he chides network TV for screwing up one big opportunity they had to build out their news reporting services.  RSJ [...]]]></description>

Tivo didn’t have a great quarter, losing $.18/share. I didn&#8217;t need to wait around to listen to the earnings call to hear the spin they put on this. Tivo keeps bleeding subscribers – they lost another 145,000 for the quarter. While it’s no surprise that they continued to bleed subscribers from DirectTV, they even lost [...]]]></description>
