Yeah I'll second this. As a 30 year old with no tv subscription I'm much more likely to come across a programs YouTube stream than to be randomly scrolling through a tv guide. I agree that tv is still ideal for older viewers and more importantly to be shown in bars and public venues, but the future of broadcasting is online.
