"for all the talk about how NBC is on its last legs when it was so big in the 80s/90s, I think people are forgetting the other networks were there then"

Part of me wohders if they're just the first to suffer at the time when our idea of TV ends.

it used to be 4 networks and a few cable stations.
Now, we're at 4 networks and at least a dozen certifiably important cable stations that have sliced the pie thinner for everyone.
Networks are going to need to be able to make money in the margins of 5-7million viewers in a lot of cases as time moves forward. NBC's just there now.
I don't think it'll ever come back to pre-eminence in any meaningful format.
