Welcome WVFF Guest Blogger Jim Louderback Sure, you think the TV is dead. But it’s not. The act of lazing about in front of a big screen TV watching, laughing and enjoying video content is going to be even bigger than ever. But here’s the rub. It’ll be less about cable and broadcast, and much…
WVFF Guest Blogger Hank Green There seem to be two camps on this debate. One half says that the internet is going to kill television, the other says that the internet is going to make television much better and even more profitable.

We’re past that debate about whether TV or online-video will prevail. There will be a hybrid model, and quite frankly I can’t wait…
