Five Lessons the Faltering Music Industry Could Learn From TV

[titanstats]

It's 'lessons to be learned from TV.' TV in this case doesn't mean cable. It means video, specifically, video people are willing to pay for.

Not so much. It mentions only network TV and premium cable channels; not a word about streaming options, Chromecast or Apple TV, streaming torrent clients, Netflix, Hulu, etc., etc. that are revolutionizing the medium. Hence the 10 years ago comment -- it's barely an article.

There are actually words about Netflix. I didn't know Netflix was 'premium cable.' And HBO is transitioning, they are big in streaming.

The main point is subscriber funding for premium content. I love it, superior content and no commercials. That approach can be made to work for music.

Well, they did mention the word "Netflix" once... :-/

There are plenty of places to already get premium content for music, be it streaming or downloadable. Most people don't care, those of us that do already have our sources. I can't think of anything in that article actually relevant to the music industry...
