The future of television is interactivity. Control of viewing is moving from program providers to viewers. While advertising executives needlessly worry about the impact TiVo will have on advertising, the reality is that "old fashioned" advertising will survive next to far more effiecient personalized ads delivered to specific homes. If premium "video-on-demand" providers are quick learners, then they will see the wisdon in maximizing viewership of PPV events by allowing viewers the ability to opt-in to a video commercial in return for a discount on the premium program. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Please return often to see what is happening in interactive television, and take me to task. My arguments will be made stronger by constructive criticisms.

MediaPost Advertising & Media Directory. DO AS WE SCHEDULE, NOT AS WE ZAP - At last the Riff finally understands what all the angst over digital video recorders is really about. And it isn't coming from some new Nielsen data, or even the deluge of consumer research studies indicating the impact DVRs are having on consumer ad-watching behavior. What's got national advertisers running scared is their own commercial-watching behavior. Or perhaps, it's the lack of it. Asked if they use their DVRs to skip TV commercials, 56 percent of national marketers who on a DVR said they skip TV advertising. [Tivo News]
