I picked up the same point that Mark Jones did: that commercial television in Australia is concerned with online video. They’re so concerned that they’re now showing some of the popular series (Jericho and The OC) within only a few days of the US, and claiming you can “See it at the same time as the US!” Up until recently some shows would be broadcasts, months or years, after US release.

Jericho is an interesting pick, but The OC makes complete sense given it’s appeal to Generation Y.

Mark makes the point that this wouldn’t be happening if there was no commercial driver, “the loss of audience attention to the internet.”
