Lou,

I don't think we've seen the bottom yet.  I suspect a lot of people will 
just decide they don't care enough about TV to do anything about the 
conversion, and that will cause a loss of revenue, which will make the 
programming get worse.  Have you noticed how many "reality?" shows there 
are?  That's because they're cheap to make.  Have you also noticed how short 
the season is getting?  Stay tuned (or not) for more of the same.

Steve
