Saving Free Broadcast Television : An
11 page report
proposing some fixes for the fix network television finds
itself now facing. For years, broadcast TV has paid little
attention to the desires of the viewers, even as they leave in
droves for cable channels and satellite TV. Now there is talk
of the major sports organizations governing bodies to
abandon network TV in favor of a pay-per-view approach to
raking in the money. The ultimate effect of such a move,
however, would be to limit fan accessibility to the organized
games. Baseball attendance still has not regained the ground
lost during the baseball strike, and further exhibits of lack of
loyalty to the fans could do irreparable damage to the
fortunes of big-business sports, a fact that network executives
need to point out to the powers that be. FREE appendix
