When I was kid there were only three networks to watch.  I swore that when I grew up I was going to start a tv station that ran kids programming all day long.  I grew up and lost interest and Nickelodon beat me to it anyway.  My next great idea was new programming all year round.  Now NBC beat me to it, but that’s OK.  NBC announced what it labeled a “superseason” of new shows that will fill 65 weeks, from this June through August 2009.

Finally, customer service has reached the television industry.  If people are happy watching television and there are new shows, people will watch and the networks can charge higher rates.  Better service and better quality means value to the customer and they will pay for it.  I expect this experiment to not only be successful but to see the other networks follow suit.  If not, NBC might have actually figured out a way to differentiate themselves from the pack.  But I had the idea first!
