Streaming clips feed off network content. Colbert for example.

When network content becomes financially un-viable, and gets shut down, where do the streaming clips come from?

1. one might guess the production company proivdes the clips nt

2. If the network cancels the show,

there are no clips to provide. That was my point. Where does the content come for the streaming services to provide in clip form?

3. Well, that's the dark side of the Internet - the Internet is in many ways a leech - all the best information and

content comes from expensive old media sources - that the Internet is killing off.

4. Yes, thank you. There has to be a recognition of where things are going

but there should also be also be a recognition of what's being lost.

5. What's the problem? Anyone can stream their own clips or set up their own podcasts.

Traditional television created Trump and for that it cannot be forgiven.

Personally, I think traditional television needs to die.

I quit in 2012.

Colbert and Maddow are like vegetarians working in a slaughterhouse.

I hope Colbert enjoys his new freedom and takes us along for the ride.

6. My only point is that so many of those clips that are streamed

are coming from sources that are disappearing. Maybe you are talking about how anyone can stream their own content. But streaming content, taking little clips, from those few exceptionally smart and talented people is what I'm talking about. Those talented people who lose mainstream visibility. They will pop up somewhere, but it may be very fragmented and not commonly shared. Just lots of little isolated islands with lots of isolated media plans. I think important ideas will be less commonly shared and basically just lost. Maybe I'm just getting old and can't appreciate all the new possibilities.
