Comments on the Future of the Television and Music Industries (video)

Recently Charlene Weisler interviewed me for MediaPost on a variety of research issues, asked me to make predictions about the future of the TV industry, and added a few questions about copyright and the record industry. The answers were posted on YouTube. I recommend Charlene’s excellent blog, which contains insightful video interviews with dozens of industry leaders. It’s at http://weislermedia.blogspot.com/.
