TVFTP for week of February 15, 2016

Podcast for the week of February 15, 2016

This week on the TVFTP podcast:

People keep expecting radio to roll over and die.  Two new studies show that there is still some amazing life left in the Grand Old Lady of broadcast media.

Six years ago I did a show that all but shovelled dirt on the corpse of NBC.  The Peacock Network is back and I give them their due.

Finally, changing the cast of a successful TV show is always a risk.  BBC’s worldwide hit “Top Gear” not only threw out the whole cast but replaced them with SEVEN new hosts.  A few thoughts on the subject.

 

The View From the Phlipside podcast includes all three programs for the week listed.  All materials and opinions are exclusively those of the producer.

The View From the Phlipside currently airs on WRFA-LP in Jamestown, NY.  Listen around 7:30 each morning, Monday through Friday.
