My fervent hope is that tv shifts to the model you see with web development, which is more collaborative and would likely treat the video as part of a whole. Whether that'll happen or not, I have no idea, but those working at NextMedia working on web series (with a web site surrounding, expanding and enhancing the video) seemed to have their heads screwed on much straighter, and have a much more optimistic outlook for the future, than the TV execs.

It will take some pretty visionary & brave leaders of the dying institutions to not leave a smoking, stinking mess behind when their cash-cows crumble. And last I looked, there were very few of THOSE types in charge of any profit-making quasi-monopolies… Ah, Warren, this is so true, but… as most revolutions have revealed, the “collateral damage” that occurs to good people when the old institutions crumble can be pretty horrific.
