If only they could keep their actual speeches to 140 characters! http://popculture2point0.wordpress.com/2010/02/01/thank-you-in-140-characters/ I thought it was interesting that so many of the winners posted “acceptance speeches” via Twitter.

The idea of on-demand with release dates is an interesting idea, however that still would not work with something live like the Grammy Awards. I think the big shift will come when you see a major player or "star" take a series to the web only... I think by that point, the networks just may get what a bunch of idiots they have been? The television industry today proves one thing... how NOT to listen to your consumers! Thanks again for the comment! Doc Hi Kim,

Just another glaring spotlight on the fact that people want to be able to watch what they want when they want. It's one of the reasons DVRs, Hulu and iTunes are hugely popular - time shifting. I think eventually you'll see everything going to on-demand with release dates. Right now the networks are just proving they've learned nothing at all from record companies and movie companies through the history of the DRM movement... they're scared and fighting their own customers. In the meantime, those same people are SCREAMING at them exactly what they want and begging the networks to give it to them. It's only a matter of time before they have to face reality and realize they either give it to them or the customer will find it elsewhere.
