Voluntary subscription - HBO, A&E.. - can also offer advertising-free.
It's a False Dilemma to imply Government needs to get involved.

Yes, I agree. That is why terrestrial broadcast is still successful in Europe and Asia and is such a mess in the US and Canada. The North American governments should listen more to the public interests rather than selected business groups.

I agree 100 percent.

I probably mentioned before.Don't forget the $5 dollar broadcast TV fees the cable company tacks on our monthly bills.

Maybe the broadcasters can soak their advert clients for more cash instead of its viewers.I agree with Penthode on adverts .We get soaked with the 5 minute adverts in the programs every 8 minutes.The programs are getting shorter with more ads inserted in them.The killer is that we get stuck paying them $5 bucks a month on top of it.

Back to the original topic of producers.

With the crap that airs today here.There is not much producing going on with these reality shows.Just set up the cameras and let them roll.Cheaply made productions with some those shows will make the local access cable channel productions look like top pro productions.

Better off to watch amateurs on Youtube then what is produced on the networks.The sitcoms suck and not funny.The classic game shows like Jeopardy,the Wheel and The Price is Right are still good to watch.Drama shows like the CSI collection and other cop type drama shows are good but getting cropped for more ads..
