I read a report yesterday that said if the AMC/OLTL switch suceeds, broadcast TV as a whole is finished. The new producers of the shows claim to have done research which shows that Neilsen ratings were excluding half the actual audience!
With web ready TVs expected to become the norm in a few years, watching the shows online will look exactly the same as broadcast TV.

I only ever watch GH on television or on Soapnet if I work during the day during its regular time slot. Even though episodes are already available online, I rarely ever use the option. I suppose if I had the time to keep up with a daily show on a daily basis, I probably would.

I'm hoping that Katie Couric doesn't kill GH, but if it can more online and still survive, I'll find time to watch it here and there just to keep up.
