Well into the second decade of the television era, the machines still conked out, a lot. "TV's on the fritz again," folks would say. There was such a thing as a TV repairman, who would come to your house. Now, TVs work.

When you've created a photo album, a slideshow or a movie, the natural impulse is to find an audience to applaud your effort. But who should that audience be: a few people peering over your shoulder, several spectators in front of the television or the two-dozen people you e-mail all the time?

With an ongoing writers' strike forcing many TV shows into reruns, tube viewers are wondering what they are missing. Some shows are back in production with or without their writers, placing the strike at the forefront of many comedians' routines.

Moves to 'minimise annoyance', save eardrums Television adverts sometimes sound much louder than surrounding programme material because existing rules on sound levels are ambiguous. The rules should change to minimise annoyance to viewers, says an industry watchdog.â¦

By Danny Hooley, The News & Observer, Raleigh, N.C.  Sep. 17--Network television has tried just about everything under the sun to hang on to the mass audience it enjoyed in the pre-cable glory days. Franchising its hits to death. An overdose of reality shows. Voodoo.

By Jaynelle Ramon, The Arizona Daily Star, Tucson  Feb. 1--It's a great time to be a TV watcher -- big shows coming back from long hiatuses and no repeats until summer.

This is good. Very good. It's a rare sign that television executives just might care after all about their viewers and what they are given to watch.

There's a mini-debate going on about whether podcasting is a success or worth it, or whatever, I'm not sure exactly what the issue is, but it's framed this way --> if you can't get advertisers to hitch a ride on your podcast then podcasting is not worth much if anything.  I'm having a slow Friday so far, it's cloudy and chilly here in the Bay Area, we're in the January doldrums, so I thought maybe I could liven things up a bit by saying both sides of this argument are full of shit wrong. Let me explain. My phone doesn't have a business model. Neither does my porch. I still like having a phone and a porch because they help me meet new people and communicate with people I know. Same with my blog and podcast. Meanwhile... There's another mini-debate about bloggers playing pranks at CES. The Gizmodo guys ran around with some gadgets that turn TV sets off. At CES is this a big deal because much of what goes on there is TV. They were being assholes, interfering with people's ability to do their jobs and make a living. As a result bloggers get a bad rep.  The problem is that they're not bloggers, they're reporters and they work for a company that's not a blog, it's a publication. Publishing stuff on the web with blogging software says nothing about the people and what they write.  A blogger is person who has an idea, expertise or opinion who wants to convey that to other people. The unedited voice of a person. What makes a blogger interesting is that they do something other than writing a blog. If all you do is write a blog, and if you want or need to make money from your blogging, it's really hard to distinguish what you're doing from what professionals who don't use the web (are there any left?) do. Same with podcasting. I do a podcast from time to time because I want to say something. Whether I can run an ad on my podcast means nothing to me because I would never do it. And if I went crazy and let someone put an ad on there, it would only be to reciprocate for them having hosted the podcast, as a way of paying for the podcast itself (I'm contemplating doing exactly that right now so I had to include the disclaimer). I would never burden my podcasting with the task of supporting me. It's not why I podcast. We keep having this argument. Amateurism is good and there's lots of it. Professional writers and broadcasters probably have a place, I don't know, it's not my problem. But let's be clear blogging and podcasting exist independent of a professional's ability to eek out a living using the tools of blogging and podcasting.  Now I'm going to try to get some work done.

News programming has proved to be unpopular on network television, even as the writers' strike creates holes in prime time schedules, the Associated Press reports: With the exception of CBS ordering a few more ''48 Hours: Mysteries'' true crime yarns, the networks haven't looked to their news divisions to fill holes expected when viewers' favorite dramas [...].
