As usual. This Content Providers are VERY scared of turning loose their Golden Goose. THey have something set up that has worked well for them.
Must be some money in it for Oprah to start a Network from scratch. Also, not to long ago FOX started in an competed with the big boys. NBC ; CBS; & ABC. Fox now is also big time.
If things would continue as they would have it. Things would not change much. But the Times are a Changing, (that would make a good song).
It will take Apple to show them how they can do things without completely loosing all there profits.
Right now the TV guys don't want what happened to the music industry to happen to them.
The problem is that they are placing the blame on the wrong person. Steve Jobs and Apple actually gave them the only logical way to make money. Of course the Labels kept saying that a Subscription plan would have been better for them. Well enough companies were doing that. Borrowing from Sarah Palin, "How is that working out for You?"
Apple is the biggest seller of legit music for them and they still hate him.
I am thinking, that it is gonna take some iAds as advertising to pay for the typical ad views on PC's and ATV.
But of course Apple will have to show them that this will be the way for them to follow.
