ABSTRACT
Defining television can be quite difficult. It used to be easy;
television directors and producers knew that their final
program would be generally viewed on a 19-inch television
set located in a home. As you know, that is no longer the
case. Television’s definition now embraces new technologies
such as large-screen televisions, computers, the Internet,
tablets, and smartphones. These changes have brought many
new players into the television industry. Online networks now
create programming that is as high quality as what we have
seen in the past on networks. With their lower cost overhead,
they increasingly have the money and audience to pull in
some of the best program creators.
