Will writers’ strike drive up web video views? - Lost Remote TV Blog

Will writers’ strike drive up web video views? - Lost Remote TV Blog:

"Here’s a lovely irony of the Hollywood writers’ strike: In the name of winning
a bigger share of revenue from the sale of TV shows over the Internet, TV
writers could wind up driving viewers to the Web in search of original online
video."


In a media environment that is rich with options, I think that the writers need to be careful that they don't drive people away from TV. I think many are operating under the belief that was true ten years ago that people would always watch TV. Some network execs understand the changes, but the writers don't seem to.
