The most interesting thing to me as a TV producer is "finding the problem that isn’t adequately solved." There are always plenty of these!
It would be interesting to compare the 'listening sessions' IPR did last summer with the varied research IPTV has done, to see what our audiences say they are wanting.
In the past, I've found that there are so many problems and solutions that one media source can't possibly handle all of them. That's why some little guys are showing up online - doing their specialty. No matter how many big media companies there are, they can't report everything, from every point of view.
People pay for audio stations on their digital cable - genras of music, mostly. My friend used to put a towel over the TV when playing it, though. The blank screen with just plain type on it was annoying to her.
Perhaps there could be a little mp3-type gadget you could tune in on, instead of thru TV set itself. Portability is a big draw these days!
