Do You Produce Video Content? How to make more money.

Everybody's right.

There is and will be a market for both DVD/VHS and VOD, they are not in contradiction with each other, and it will probably last for a good long time yet.

Oh my god, TV is going to kill the movie theaters
Oh my god, Cable is going to kill the movie theaters
Oh my god, VCRs are going to kill the movie theaters
Oh my god, DVDs are going to kill the movie theaters

The only references I could find stated something about Harry Potter opening in 3682 theaters in the U.S. and that that represented approx 20% of all US theaters which would put the current number of theaters in the U.S. at approx 18400, yeah, really looks dead to me, ya know.

But here is the deal. Hollywood has had to drastically improve the quality of their films. So the free market took care of that little problem and we, the consumer, benefit. A lesson to be learned, there.

Ah, but it didn't. It may have helped continue the demise of AM radio (although it is still breathing) but FM radio is still strong and healthy and Satellite radio appears to be making good progress.

As long as personal transportation exists and the control of it is in an individual's hands there will be a strong radio market

Hence, then entire point sarreth was making.....

irony

1. witty language used to convey insults or scorn; "he used sarcasm to upset his opponent"; "irony is wasted on the stupid"; "Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their own"--Jonathan Swift [syn: sarcasm]
2. incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs; "the irony of Ireland's copying the nation she most hated"
3. a trope that involves incongruity between what is expected and what occurs


irony1 [ˈaiərəni] noun — plural ˈironies

open mouth radio is alive and well on the am band. I drove across America from Washington to Michigan and redneck radio is strong as ever.
