Television Is On Life Support--as shared by Stephen Colbert



I watch The Daily Show and The Colbert Report on www.hulu.com because I only have basic cable.

In the first couple minutes of last night's The Colbert Report, Stephen looks at how 2009 will bring a 20-30% reduction in advertising revenue. Stephen gives suggestions on how TV can recoup some of that revenue by adding pro-social messages in TV shows.

Of course, Stephen puts his "own" twist on everything....so enjoy.

    Great video! I love the show. He's right about adding extra messages. Also, HULU is awesome, especially when you are traveling.

    I agree. Televison is on life support. I know HULU runs commercials all the time stating that it's on a mission to take over. They use a comedic spin on the advertising, but they are serious and right!
