Campbell Live last night beat the TV One 7pm show Seven Sharp overall audience for the first time since Campbell Live began in 2005.
It is also the first time TV3 has ever beaten TV One in the 7pm weekday slot since TV3 began in November 1989.
Seven Sharp took another hit in the ratings on Tuesday night after a short recovery in Monday’s show, according to overnight ratings from Nielsen TAM.
But will they come back? Ask MySpace.
For hundreds of years, publishers across every industry ??? book publishers, record labels, film studios, videogame publishers ??? solved problems for artists in four major ways:
- Funding. The cost of creating a new work, paying the artist’s expenses during the creation process, often with an advance.
- Production. Design, manufacturing, and printing of the finished product.
- Marketing. Going on tour, making a video, promotion in various media outlets.
- Distribution. Getting the product into people’s hands.
And how does this play out now?
Google isn???t the first one to work on an alternative to AirPlay. In fact, the widest-supported AirPlay alternative actually predates Apple???s protocol: The Digital Living Network Alliance launched in 2003 to bring content sharing to the living room. It???s DLNA protocol has been widely adopted by numerous players, with a total of 500 devices supporting DLNA today. However, the actual level of support varies widely, and many manufacturers have opted to roll out their own branded solutions on top of DLNA ??? but even those see little use from consumers.

Excellent overview of how “new” media is different.
It???s not too late for yet one more 2012 year-in-review report, and today???s latest addition comes from Nielsen, which examined how Americans have been consuming content over the course of the past year. The report found that of the 289 million U.S. TV owners, 119 million own four or more television sets, making TV still the device to beat when it comes to watching and recording programs, among other things.
The TV owning audience can also be further split up by how they access their programing and what sort of things they use their TV for, besides live viewing.
“TV” in this context appears to refer to the large stand-alone monitor that comes with a receiver built in. Highlight, “broadcast/over-the-air only is down from 16% in 2003 to 9%”
Standardised residential delivery has been wholly a grail for some time. Perhaps the decline of postal messaging and rise of tangible goods delivery will mean it gets some traction. Even without the autonomous drone (self-driving postie), it would be a neat idea and fit well with on-line, carbon footprint-reducing shopping.
If I had to sum up 2012 based solely on this roundup of the best viral videos I’d say this is the year we finally, mercifully just completely gave up.
As for the TV shows such as Homeland and others hits, there is not justification whatsoever to preserve this calendar archaism. They should be made universally available from the day when they are aired on TV, period. Or customers will vote with their mouse anyway and find the right file-sharing sites.
The ???Industry??? fails to assess three shifts here.
???The first one is the globalization of audiences. Worldwide, about 360m people are native English speakers; for an additional 375m, it is the second language, and 750m more picked English as an foreign language at school. That???s about 1.5 billion people likely to be interested in English-speaking culture. As a result, a growing proportion of teenagers watch their pirated series without subtitles ??? or scruples.
???Then, the ???spread factor???: Once a show becomes a hit in the United States, it becomes widely commented in Europe and elsewhere, not only because a large number of people speak serviceable English, but also because many national websites propagate the US buzz. Hollywood execs would be surprised to see how well young (potential) audiences abroad know about their productions months before seeing them.
???And finally, technology is definitely on the side of the foreign consumer: Better connectivity (expect 5 minutes to download an episode), high definition image, great sound??? And mobility (just take a high-speed train in Europe and see how many are watching videos on their tablets).
The forces arrayed against geo-blocking.
Best response: “A £2-a-month levy on automobiles could save our horse and cart business.”
Next of course, a levy to save: The recording industry, the movie industry, TV, Radio, schools… pretty soon, all the savings the Internet promised will be spent saving the past.
