So, dear Warner and all other owners of Without a Trace. Thank you for not only increasing the lack of continuity this season, switching nights for next year and now banning videos on youtube. Way to lose your audience. You'd think that was their goal or something.

( rant continues under the cut )

networks are dumb, warner, without a trace

I agree that D. pretty much fits as the best answer.

And it's yet more evidence that the Suits in Hollywood have absolutely no idea what's going on outside the rarified atmosphere of their little town.

It just boggles my mind. I mean with youtube people can watch things but no one is even able to download the material that's on there so it really is free advertising, but no, of course that must be banned :S

It's change. They're executives, they're big shots who are set in their ways, and they're afraid of all change, even if the change might be good for them. Heck, I'm afraid of change, too -- but I hope I'll recognize an opportunity when I see one.

All the networks feel this way, just like how all the record companies felt when downloading was becoming more prevalent (oh how I miss you, AudioGalaxy). But just like the record companies, some of the networks and production studios are coming around (even if slowly). Look at NBC, who recently signed a deal with YouTube to buy a certain amount of advertising on their website and launch certain shows/clips on the site. And they're using their own websites to give fans webisodes of The Office during the summer, and other exclusive footage. I also love how ABC was (or might still be for their summer shows) airing complete episodes for free on their website (with commercials, of course... they've got to make money). That's the way to do it ( ... )

Moving nights does make sense in a way but they haven't really told people about it yet, if you haven't made an effort to know what the schedule is next fall, you don't know. AND I think WaT does hold on to some of the CSI audience as viewers so I hope they have a decent lead in show on Sunday or else that's going to hurt them somewhat.

I can definitely see where Warner wouldn't want full episodes of their show available for download (although clearly that happens lol) but the point of youtube doesn't appear to be hosting for full shows, it's all about clips which is why it strikes me as random that it gets attacked often for copywrighted material.

I do like to hear that the networks are slowly coming around :)
