The New Definition of TV Phil McKinney
3-4 p.m. Monday, January 7 LVCC North Hall N262

It's not just what you watch; it's what you watch it on. How programming comes into the home and how it is watched continually evolves. Set-top-boxes, PCs and the monitors themselves are all vying to be the hub of the home entertainment system. What device will reign supreme? Will streamed Internet content transcend the PC and find its way to the television? What are the different business models and advertising strategies? How much of this is being dictated by the consumer, and how much is purview of the service provider?

Note:  If there are enough listeners of the podcast/readers of the blog who will be there, I will host a "face 2 face" during the show ......  If you are interested, drop me an email at podcast (at) killerinnovations (dot) com.
