I'm betting that today we live fast breakdown of that monopoly for the last great bastion protected media: the national private TV channels or public.
because all parts are in place:
- Mr Everybody produces video content and publish it on the Web via YouTube: it does not deprive them because every minute, are 24 hours of new content which are published
- major media companies have swept their initial taboos: MGM up there even complete movies
- institutions: Barack Obama , Her Majesty of England, the Vatican their chain web video "official" and their counter-powers
- There among the content that "fun" quality limited (understatement!). It also hinders monetization of YouTube by Google of Youtube, but there are also news of more serious emerging near-real-time with experiences like Citizentube
- equipment source Apple or Google / Sony / Logitech exists to bring our shows on television.
course, all these components are still a few odds and ends and a few months / years are needed to thin anything new magma media personnel and make it accessible and digestible by all.
However if I was TF1 and France Television, I worry: unlike the FM of the 1980s, behind this "DIY enthusiast" (which also reminds me of the epic CB and in the same years) the huge global giants (Google and Facebook) that are ready to help all those "personal TV producers" by their technological capabilities without limit (see infrastructure Facebook or Google's ) that they make freely available via the Web to chew chewable Toothy in the advertising pie which Television is by far the largest share !
It takes time for the outbreak of the breastplate of "TV history? ;-)
Preview Wikipedia on FM in the 1980s:
"From the 70s, some groups of young radio enthusiasts are beginning to broadcast locally on FM. On 13 May 1977 Green radio broadcasts on Paris and announces the launch of dozens of FM radio stations across France.
The challenge is great noise, the stations are increasing and multiplying the state seized and interference. Considered by Prime Minister Raymond Barre as "a powerful seed of anarchy" free radios to FM struggle to exist.
The election of François Mitterrand in 1981 marked a real change because he supported the initiatives of free radio. After hesitating to face opposition from the press, the Socialists began a timid liberalization of FM, power limitation, prohibition of advertising revenues.
Soon these constraints yield the benefit of strong stations and better organized, NRJ, Skyrock. Free radios become private local radio stations. "
