I’m especially excited about the last panel. New delivery methods have already changed how we as viewers watch TV. They are also beginning to change which shows are renewed, cancelled, and greenlighted.  New models such as web-native shows have the potential of circumventing existing delivery systems (broadcast TV, cable) and creating a direct connection between the content creator and the viewer. There will be big shake-ups ahead. Interesting topic.
