I am here to tell you, TV is not dead. Rather, it is constantly evolving as we are. My view is that we are in the next Golden Age of content.

Historically, we've had to think in increments of 30 or 60 minutes. And now we have to think in increments of six seconds to six hours and everything in between.
Both of my grandfathers served in World War II, both in the Pacific. One wouldn't talk about it, and one would.
