I think product placement into the shows will become more and more prevalent due to DVR fast forwarders. - Noloha, Bacon Mar 4, 18:28
i am totally okay with. Added bonus: it is not Two and a Half Men. -- nm - Andie Mar 4, 18:17

What's important is this statement: "The daily ratings are in many ways a mirage now" -- nm - David Mar 4, 18:06 13
- Time shifting usually equates commercial skipping. You'd like advertisers wouldn't want to hear these numbers. -- nm - Mop Mar 4, 18:24 11
  - Which is why NFL is king because most people don't DVR NFL and watch it days later. - Noloha, Bacon Mar 4, 18:40 6
    - i dvr nfl. i pause it, so i can start watching 30mins or so in, so i can skip the boring bits -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 4, 18:49 3
      - I can't watch if it's been spoiled. If I know the score is 17 to 10 and I am watching a taped delay showing 3 to 7 I simply can't keep watching. -- nm - Noloha, Bacon Mar 4, 18:50 2
        
        I got a question Tru. does it bother you when ST is posting NFL news and scores? Or can you still watch a game delayed? -- nm - Noloha, Bacon Mar 4, 18:51 1
        
        dont care really, mostly cause i am probably not reading st at that time. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 4, 18:53
    - This argument also goes for reality shows like Idol and the Voice. They demand live viewing. -- nm - Mop Mar 4, 18:45 1
      - Yep. Going to work after a popular show like that is almost sure to be spoiled. - Noloha, Bacon Mar 4, 18:47
  - The article addresses both aspects of this. -- nm - David Mar 4, 18:26 3
    - Indeed. In fact, there have been times where I've seen an ad while FFing and rewound to watch it -- nm - Beryllium Mar 4, 18:38
    - Tivo's utter inability to come up with a working advertising model must be an embarrassment to them. - Mop Mar 4, 18:29 1
      - TiVo went an entirely different way. Their bread is buttered by cable companies. -- nm - David Mar 4, 18:29
- right? my god how times have changed since I met you people. (I love you people.) -- nm - amanda jones Mar 4, 18:13
"One day, your fans will work for my fans." -- nm - Beryllium Mar 4, 18:05
