Can you summarize please?

There's plenty of stuff on TV when I turn it on, not sure how "broadcast tv is dead".

Broadcast TV was dead in my area years ago.
There is nothing available by antenna. Has not been in many years. There used to be 3 channels here.

Satellite and Cable TV are not broadcast. They are subscription.

Now it may be true (in some respects) that subscription TV has killed Broadcast TV.

Basically, the presentation is about how programming will move more and more towards the webbernet and away from broadcast TV. He talks about "hyperdistribution" and such-and how the model for advertising will have to change. Pretty interesting.
