And the consumer doesn't care. They don't watch networks, they watch TV shows.
We live in an age now where so many people watch movies based on what Netflix recommends. It learns your taste and they really understand viewer habits.
Ratings have changed, viewer habits have changed and the options for the audience have grown enormously, but I don't think how you tell a story is fundamentally different.
All three networks have always had a morning show but now cable of course is taking some of that audience away and a variety of other things, probably the Internet as well.
People do have viewing patterns, and you disrupt those at your own peril. That's something that everybody learned after 1988. The numbers have gone down every year since that strike. Big time.
A great deal of our ratings on the morning news are people who died during the night with their TV on.
It's insanely difficult to ask an audience to go somewhere other than YouTube to watch videos.
I'd seen 'The Sopranos,' but I wasn't a faithful viewer because I can't handle it.
I believe that there is a simple demand and supply rule that works on television. While many are hooked on web series, some enjoy non-fiction. Similarly, there are people who love watching supernatural genre.
I don't think the audience for film or TV is different. I think they are the same people who go out on weekends.
I think we're in a time when people are much more interested in a show than where you find it.
