Peering over the edge

Article Abstract:

Television networks are facing a financial crunch and will be unable to recapture their earlier monopolistic status as the prime source of live up-to-date news. Television networks should be funded by the government as public advertisers and the studio are inextricably linked by television networks. Networks must be given the freedom to produce and own more of the products that they displays, to ensure their survival.
