Speaker 1: Good morning, Kentucky, Ina. Let's get the seven o'clock hours started.
Speaker 1: Shaw We it is Kentucky Anda's morning news here on
Speaker 1: news Radio eight forty whas Coffee and Company, Nick Coffee
Speaker 1: with you. And we now have a second time in
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks where one of the national
Speaker 1: stories is a local story as well. It was last
Speaker 1: week whenever there was the shooting that took place in
Speaker 1: Lexington where the officer was fired at and then the
Speaker 1: suspect then carjacked someone only to then go and shoot
Speaker 1: and kill two people at a church. That of course
Speaker 1: is a national story. And then the sentencing yesterday for
Speaker 1: Brett Hankinson was was I mean the lead up to
Speaker 1: it clearly, I mean, there's this has been a more
Speaker 1: than five years in the making essentially, and yesterday he
Speaker 1: was sentenced to thirty three months in federal prison with
Speaker 1: three years supervisor release any one hundred dollars fine. Leading
Speaker 1: up to the sentencing, there was some chaos outside of
Speaker 1: the just in downtown Louisville, outside of where that took place,
Speaker 1: where the sentencing took place, because they're clearly people that
Speaker 1: I guess, I mean, I won't speak for anybody because
Speaker 1: I can't.
Speaker 2: But if you were.
Speaker 1: Protesting prior to that, I mean, why you're you know,
Speaker 1: why you feel like you need to do that. I'm
Speaker 1: sure you have your own reasons, but maybe it was
Speaker 1: because the DOJ recommended just one day as far as
Speaker 1: the sentencing for Hankerson, and you just felt like that
Speaker 1: was what was going to happen, and you wanted to
Speaker 1: protest and let you know, let it be known that
Speaker 1: you don't agree. So four people were arrested, one of
Speaker 1: those being Breonna Taylor's aunt, Bianca Austin. The charges for
Speaker 1: her were disorderly conduct and obstructing a highway.
Speaker 2: The other three were charged with.
Speaker 1: Various crimes disorderly conduct, highwaybstruction, harassment, theft by unlawful taking,
Speaker 1: and then, of course the visual that went viral millions
Speaker 1: of views across all social media platforms by all of
Speaker 1: the local news organizations that were there on hand to
Speaker 1: see it as the individual jumped on the Louisville Water
Speaker 1: Company truck and nobody was hurt, which is good. But
Speaker 1: the statement released by LMPD did emphasize they respect peaceful protesting,
Speaker 1: but they condemned unsafe behavior, and again they did charge
Speaker 1: that individual for jumping on jumping on cars in a
Speaker 1: Lois of Water truck, which she can't do. Louis of
Speaker 1: Water did confirm that an employee was caught up in
Speaker 1: the protest but safely exited the area. And I think
Speaker 1: the reaction from those that were very upset maybe in
Speaker 1: fear that the sentence would be very very light, maybe
Speaker 1: one day, which of course wouldn't have resulted in any
Speaker 1: actual time behind bars for Hankerson. Again, it's tough for
Speaker 1: me to check the temperature here. As far as those
Speaker 1: that wanted justice, did they feel like this was this
Speaker 1: was good enough? And again there's plenty of people who
Speaker 1: think that Hankerson shouldn't have had any type of punishment,
Speaker 1: And we've had a few people share their more than
Speaker 1: a few people share their comments on the talkback feature,
Speaker 1: and we'll get to that coming up here in about
Speaker 1: about seven minutes or so. I would I've got myself
Speaker 1: on a spot now, or if I start playing some
Speaker 1: of these for you, it wouldn't give me enough time,
Speaker 1: so we'll just spend the next segment dedicated to letting
Speaker 1: you hear what. At least a few people have chimed
Speaker 1: in to share as far as their thoughts on how
Speaker 1: this thing played out.
Speaker 2: But for me, I think if you.
Speaker 1: Just if you're somebody that is of the belief that
Speaker 1: Hankison was just was just doing his job and we
Speaker 1: don't need you know, they were there for you know,
Speaker 1: legitimate reasons because of what Breonna Taylor and her boyfriend
Speaker 1: were accused of doing, and he wasn't he didn't fire first,
Speaker 1: and you just think that this is all to appease
Speaker 1: those that are making it about her and her race.
Speaker 1: I just I ask you to just remove her completely
Speaker 1: from said situation. And that's not dac like that isn't
Speaker 1: a super humongous component in this entire story. But if
Speaker 1: you just look look at what Hankerson did and you
Speaker 1: look at what he had previously been reprimanded for as
Speaker 1: far as how he used his firearm as a law
Speaker 1: enforcement officer, I mean, if anything, it's it's reckless endangerment.
Speaker 1: And to not expect there to be any type of
Speaker 1: consequence and punishment for that, I think that is that
Speaker 1: is unrealistic. But I'm certain he'll appeal and this thing.
Speaker 1: I don't know when it comes to getting closure from
Speaker 1: this situation, I'd be the last to tell you sort
Speaker 1: of how that plays out. But this has obviously been
Speaker 1: one of the big, big stories here in our community,
Speaker 1: and I mean it'll be something people remember forever. But
Speaker 1: it does sound as if, at least there are some
Speaker 1: that are at least just happy that he's going to
Speaker 1: be going to going to be going to prison and
Speaker 1: he's not just going to, you know, roam free. All right,
Speaker 1: we'll let you hear what others have to say about
Speaker 1: this situation coming up in just a few minutes, but
Speaker 1: first let's get an update on traffic. Bobby Ellis will
Speaker 1: tell us how the roadways are looking here in the
Speaker 1: seven o'clock hour on a Tuesday, and we'll also get
Speaker 1: a look at the forecast today for Matt Melosavich WLKY.
Speaker 1: It's Kentucky and This Morning News with Coffee and Company
Speaker 1: right here on News Radio eight forty whas.
Speaker 2: So, I was called out yesterday.
Speaker 1: In fact, I was called out last week too about
Speaker 1: mentioning the talkback feature but not not utilizing it. And
Speaker 1: I'm guilty. Sometimes I just get caught up in the
Speaker 1: show and I forget that it's there.
Speaker 2: So I do apologize.
Speaker 1: But we have a feature on the UET radio app
Speaker 1: that if you just click the microphone button, you can
Speaker 1: then chime in and you got thirty seconds to share
Speaker 1: really whatever it is that you want. And we've got
Speaker 1: some folks that have shared their thoughts on yesterday's sentencing
Speaker 1: for Brett Hankerson, and we'll let you hear a couple
Speaker 1: of different ones here and again, if you want to
Speaker 1: use the feature, it's super easy to do. Just click
Speaker 1: the microphone button and you'll be good to go.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that say you let's see think from the middle.
Speaker 3: But I am not heard cognition one thing at all
Speaker 3: on why he did what he did, who they were
Speaker 3: after I thought they were supposed to be in there,
Speaker 3: and the fact that there was a shot fired at Neil.
Speaker 3: You want to see in the middle, be in the middle.
Speaker 1: I will give this gentleman the benefit of the doubt
Speaker 1: because maybe he just hadn't heard me say that yet,
Speaker 1: because I did mention that the first shot that was
Speaker 1: fired was by Kenneth Walker and not by law enforcement.
Speaker 1: And I tried to make it quite clear that if
Speaker 1: you look at what he did based off of remove
Speaker 1: Breonna Taylor and him from it completely. I mean, even
Speaker 1: if even if these two individuals were accused of the
Speaker 1: most heinous crime and the warrant situation wasn't murky. You
Speaker 1: still should be held accountable for recklessly firing your gun,
Speaker 1: even if you are fired upon. I mean again, I
Speaker 1: mean it's I don't envy any law enforcement officer in
Speaker 1: that situation because I'm sure, I mean, look, you're trained,
Speaker 1: but some people spend many, many years in law enforcement
Speaker 1: and retire without ever having to draw their gun. So
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it was that. You know that firing
Speaker 1: a shot and it be it being an inaccurate shot
Speaker 1: is something you should be punished for, but it was
Speaker 1: a reckless way of just firing ten shots. That again,
Speaker 1: so I'm not at all defending the lifestyle and what
Speaker 1: was going on with Breonna Taylor and her boyfriend. And
Speaker 1: that's why I specifically said, if you just removed that
Speaker 1: element of it, which it's hard to do for a
Speaker 1: lot of people because a lot of people see this
Speaker 1: as well, Hey, who cares. She was a drug dealer,
Speaker 1: her boyfriend was a drug dealer, And you know, you
Speaker 1: play dangerous games, you win dangerous prizes, like I can't
Speaker 1: tell you how many time I've heard people say that,
Speaker 1: and this really what I'm saying has really nothing to do. Like,
Speaker 1: let's say their lifestyle was as bad as you claim
Speaker 1: to be, as far as being criminals drug people that
Speaker 1: were trafficking drugs. Let's say they were doing that, but
Speaker 1: ten times worse. That doesn't change the fact that you
Speaker 1: don't just fire a gun ten times and really have
Speaker 1: no regard for where you're shooting it when you end
Speaker 1: up firing through a different apartment. Again, that's I mean,
Speaker 1: when it comes to just the reaction to what was
Speaker 1: going on, again, none of us were there, so it's
Speaker 1: tough to say. But that's why I tried to make
Speaker 1: it clear, just can you know, take take out the
Speaker 1: component of of And it's not to say that that
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, because again, like they were, they clearly weren't
Speaker 1: investigating her boyfriend and her for a reason. But I mean,
Speaker 1: if you look at this individual, Hankerson, he had already
Speaker 1: been reprimanded for reckless conduct involving his firearm during other
Speaker 1: police incidents. There was at least one earlier situation where
Speaker 1: he fired his weapon during a pursuit that raised a
Speaker 1: lot of concern from his superiors. So I mean, if
Speaker 1: you have that already going for you and then you
Speaker 1: show up and you just you know, you you fire
Speaker 1: ten shots blindly into a dark apartment through a covered door, endangering.
Speaker 2: Other people, not just the suspects. You can't do that.
Speaker 1: You to not expect somebody to be held accountable for that,
Speaker 1: I think is foolish.
Speaker 2: So but but because.
Speaker 1: There's two sides of playing, you know, just I mean,
Speaker 1: because this there's clearly that are so there.
Speaker 2: There's there's division here clearly, and you've.
Speaker 1: Got some on one side to the extreme and the
Speaker 1: and and and another group of folks that are on
Speaker 1: the other side to the extreme. Nobody wants to understand that,
Speaker 1: like in a lot of things in life, both things
Speaker 1: can be true. So me saying that, yeah, he should
Speaker 1: be held accountable, and I'm not at all, I'm not surprised,
Speaker 1: and I understand why he was sentenced to thirty three months,
Speaker 1: It really doesn't have anything to do with me saying that, hey, uh,
Speaker 1: Glover and Breonna Taylor were perfect human beings. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's not that again, And I don't know, I don't know,
Speaker 1: you know. So I just think that if you really
Speaker 1: consider it from just what he did that night, and
Speaker 1: not consider who he was there to see, I mean,
Speaker 1: I think you could understand that, you know, he he'd
Speaker 1: already been.
Speaker 2: In trouble for ben.
Speaker 1: Again, the charge itself, that's where it gets a little tricky,
Speaker 1: because he wasn't charged with one endangerment. He was charged
Speaker 1: with violating her civil rights. And of course some have
Speaker 1: said that maybe they think that those charges specifically are
Speaker 1: to make it a little bit more the perception that
Speaker 1: they're trying to be sympathetic towards her and those who
Speaker 1: believe that she was targeted in her life didn't matter
Speaker 1: because of race. And again that's what a lot of
Speaker 1: that's that's what the root of a lot of this
Speaker 1: is for folks who are very much upset with the
Speaker 1: entire thing in the way it's played out. But here's
Speaker 1: another quick comment, and this is this one, of course,
Speaker 1: is more so in line with sort of how I feel. Well, look,
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to change anybody's opinion. But that's why
Speaker 1: I specifically stated when it comes to just looking at
Speaker 1: Hankason how he acted that night, when I say take
Speaker 1: it out and consider just his actions, that doesn't mean
Speaker 1: that none of that matters. But when it comes to
Speaker 1: him being held responsible in getting a print a prison sentence.
Speaker 1: I think if you look at his actions that night,
Speaker 1: it's not a surprise that he would be held accountable.
Speaker 1: My question is, would people feel bigger about what happened
Speaker 1: with Brett can say he had fired blindly into the apartment.
Speaker 2: And stuck at child and fielded child. Would they feel
Speaker 2: differently about that.
Speaker 1: And that very easily could have happened and if it did,
Speaker 1: If it did, I mean, I don't, I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't even to think about what the reaction would have
Speaker 1: been for that. But and it's a blessing that that
Speaker 1: did not happen. But it's also I mean, so that clearly,
Speaker 1: like if you if anybody shows up, law enforcement or not,
Speaker 1: and they start firing shots and blindly and let's just
Speaker 1: say nobody was hit, but you clearly nearly hit people
Speaker 1: who were in their homes. I mean, you're you're gonna
Speaker 1: you can't do that. You're gonna be held accountable. All right,
Speaker 1: let's get an update of traving the weather. Also we'll
Speaker 1: get another sports update coming your way right here on
Speaker 1: news radio eight forty whas.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: John Shannon, it is Kentucky had his morning news with
Speaker 1: Coffee and Company NIT Coffee with you, taking you up
Speaker 1: until nine o'clock. Tony and Dwytt are gonna be live
Speaker 1: at the new is it the new Long John Silvers?
Speaker 1: I believe in Fern Creek, so that'll be fun. And
Speaker 1: if you are just now joining us, as you could expect,
Speaker 1: we've talked a lot about the decision yesterday from the
Speaker 1: judge to sentence Brett Hankerson to thirty three months in prison,
Speaker 1: and we'll continue to discuss that and once again in
Speaker 1: the eight o'clock hour, we'll let you hear more from
Speaker 1: those that are sharing their thoughts on the situation via
Speaker 1: the talkback feature on our iHeartRadio app. So your best
Speaker 1: bet to chime in is to use the feature that's
Speaker 1: right there on the app. Click the microphone button and
Speaker 1: you'll be prompted. You get thirty seconds and you can
Speaker 1: fire away. I also have another way in which we
Speaker 1: can introduce some interaction. I just want to make sure
Speaker 1: I get the green light from my superiors before I
Speaker 1: do that. Don't want to, you know, do something to
Speaker 1: get myself in trouble. But I have a text line
Speaker 1: that I used to use on my old show that
Speaker 1: is still available that the more I consider, just how
Speaker 1: useful it was previously. It can be utilized here too,
Speaker 1: But I just want to make sure before I start
Speaker 1: giving that number out and letting people know about it,
Speaker 1: that it's that it's that I'm okay to do it,
Speaker 1: all right. So last week there were some big news
Speaker 1: that seemed to be a real surprise to a lot
Speaker 1: of people, and that was that, UH, the the Late
Speaker 1: Show with UH with Stephen Colbert was was canceled.
Speaker 2: So on his way out, he received a lot of
Speaker 2: well wishes.
Speaker 1: From, you know, send offs from and in fact fact,
Speaker 1: these people made surprise appearances, uh for the sendoff for Colbert,
Speaker 1: which was Seth Myers, Jimmy Fallon, John Stewart, Adam Sandler,
Speaker 1: weird Al Yankovic, among others. And I'll admit I was
Speaker 1: I was uninformed of the drastic drop in viewership of
Speaker 1: these kind of shows, so I knew that he still
Speaker 1: was number one, and in those type of late night
Speaker 1: talk shows, which usually you don't see, shows that are
Speaker 1: number one get get canceled. But number one doesn't mean
Speaker 1: what it what it used to. So when you consider,
Speaker 1: I mean, the CBS does insist that the move was
Speaker 1: financial and it's not about the recent settlement of sixteen
Speaker 1: million dollars over that sixty minutes interview, and a lot
Speaker 1: of folks seem to think that the timing there was
Speaker 1: just not a coincidence. There's just a lot of people
Speaker 1: think there's no way that that's not tied into this
Speaker 1: decision to cancel Colbert. But they claim that it's not,
Speaker 1: And to be fair, they have some data on their
Speaker 1: side that I think could convince you if you're willing
Speaker 1: to be convinced, that it's not all a conspiracy. This
Speaker 1: show just is not. It's financially not what it once was.
Speaker 1: So if you look at the numbers just of a viewership,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's down in a big way, especially with
Speaker 1: younger audiences and a lot of younger folks don't even
Speaker 1: have traditional television anymore. So, just to give you an example,
Speaker 1: the Colbert in twenty fourteen, the viewership was three point
Speaker 1: one million per episode. In twenty twenty three, it was
Speaker 1: one point eight million. So we're talking about a forty
Speaker 1: to sixty five percent drop in less than a decade.
Speaker 1: Viewership among men eighteen thirty four is down over seventy
Speaker 1: percent since twenty sixteen. Only five percent of late night
Speaker 1: viewers now fall into into that group.
Speaker 2: So I mean that is a look.
Speaker 1: Money matters when it comes to these kind of things,
Speaker 1: right when it comes to overhead, as far as what
Speaker 1: you pay the folks that are on that show, you
Speaker 1: got to be able to generate a lot of revenue
Speaker 1: to not only pay for it, but to make it,
Speaker 1: to make it profitable. And late night ad revenue is
Speaker 1: down thirty percent, So I'm sure there are many that
Speaker 1: will always believe that this had something to do with
Speaker 1: the with the recent settlement with Trump and that sixteen
Speaker 1: million dollars pay day from that sixty minutes episode.
Speaker 2: And I can't I can't prove one way or the other.
Speaker 1: But I knew he was still doing well as far
Speaker 1: as his competition, But just that whole world of late
Speaker 1: night TV shows, it's just it's it's not what it
Speaker 1: once was. I mean, you look at Kimmel and The
Speaker 1: Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, I mean they're they're looking
Speaker 1: at I mean, they are still around as of now,
Speaker 1: but they have much less viewership than Colbert, and Colbert's
Speaker 1: viewership is simply not strong enough for CBS to continue
Speaker 1: to want to have it on the air all right,
Speaker 1: we got a quick update coming your way of traffic
Speaker 1: and weather, So don't go anywhere. Stick with us right
Speaker 1: here on news radio way forty whs. It is Kentucky
Speaker 1: and it Morning News. Here on news radio waight forty
Speaker 1: whas Coffee and Company. I'm Nick Coffee, John Shannon, he's
Speaker 1: with me here in studio. And you were mentioning just
Speaker 1: the cost of what it takes to just put the
Speaker 1: show with Stephen Colbert on television one hundred million dollars.
Speaker 4: One hundred million dollars a year production budget. He gets
Speaker 4: paid fifteen million dollars a year to be the host,
Speaker 4: and right now the latest figures is he's that show
Speaker 4: is losing forty million dollars a year.
Speaker 1: I mean that makes me think that it probably wouldn't
Speaker 1: have a shaker to see it canceled quicker than it was,
Speaker 1: because again the financial component, I mean, that's just business
Speaker 1: that doesn't make any sense. And I don't think anybody,
Speaker 1: even if you are the most optimistic about I guess
Speaker 1: navigating the new digital world and feeling optimistic about being
Speaker 1: able to loure any younger viewers who are now just
Speaker 1: consuming content on their phones in a very short amount
Speaker 1: of time, the likelihood of that show with Colbert being
Speaker 1: able to do it, it just is damn near impossible, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And and I mean this in this day and age,
Speaker 4: when we're a TikTok world with our attention span where
Speaker 4: we take it in thirty second bites at a time,
Speaker 4: something like what what Colbert was doing late night. I mean,
Speaker 4: I grew up in the days of Carson. I remember
Speaker 4: when David Letterman came on after Johnny Carson and when
Speaker 4: he went to CBS and some of the late late
Speaker 4: shows and stuff like that. But it's a different time now.
Speaker 4: That's back when you had maybe four networks, when Fox
Speaker 4: was on that little round Fox Broadcast TV was on
Speaker 4: that little round end and you can get Arsenio on
Speaker 4: there at night. But it's just the it's changed. These
Speaker 4: shows that don't change with it in some ways are
Speaker 4: going to start going the way of the Late Show
Speaker 4: with Stephen Colbert.
Speaker 1: It's crazy to think about telling someone ten years ago,
Speaker 1: maybe even more recent than ten years ago, that you
Speaker 1: would have shows that are hosted and not on any
Speaker 1: type of traditional network, let alone.
Speaker 2: A TV station.
Speaker 1: But Joe Rogan, Mister Beast, nelk Boys and I'm sure
Speaker 1: I'm mentioning names that a lot of people don't even know,
Speaker 1: and I get it, but they get ten million views
Speaker 1: per episode. That is insanely more than what you were
Speaker 1: getting when people were tuning in to watch fallon Colbert
Speaker 1: and those kind of shows. So it's just it's I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm sure there are a variety of factors, and I think,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not naive enough to think that the
Speaker 1: political component is not included to some extent. But you
Speaker 1: mentioned back when Carson was in his heyday. Of course
Speaker 1: I'm not old enough to remember that, but a lot
Speaker 1: of people, I mean, I heard a lot of people
Speaker 1: talking about Carson just with this news last week of Colbert,
Speaker 1: because he was He's a legend, yes, but it clearly
Speaker 1: was a time where you could rib both sides and
Speaker 1: just you know, it didn't it didn't mean that, you know,
Speaker 1: one was gonna hate you one way or the other.
Speaker 4: I think that's where where a lot of these shows
Speaker 4: have become niche and just appealing to one side. Carson
Speaker 4: would roast both sides, but he also have both sides
Speaker 4: on his show.
Speaker 2: He had Reagan on it, welcoming to both.
Speaker 4: He was welcoming to both, even though in his personal
Speaker 4: life and a lot of people didn't know this was
Speaker 4: he was to the left of Stephen Colbert and his politics.
Speaker 4: But you couldn't tell when he was on the show
Speaker 4: because he applied before Michael Jordan, before the Michael Jordan rule.
Speaker 4: He was applying the Michael Jordan rule. Everybody watches his show.
Speaker 4: Jordan was like, why don't you Steep speak out on
Speaker 4: politics left or right? He says, because Republicans buy my
Speaker 4: shoes too, And it's the same things. It's the same philosophy.
Speaker 4: I think with a lot of the old school hosts
Speaker 4: in television that's been lost on the ones today. And
Speaker 4: what to your point with Rogan? You know, it used
Speaker 4: to be when I was your age and younger, it
Speaker 4: was which presidential candidate is setting down with Diane Sawyer,
Speaker 4: who's setting down with Barbara Walters In the twenty twenty
Speaker 4: four election, it was which one's gonna sit down and
Speaker 4: talk to Rogan?
Speaker 1: And that if that doesn't speak to sort of the
Speaker 1: influence and the reach that you have, I mean, I mean,
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan, He's another guy that I just telling me
Speaker 1: long before he started his podcast that he'd be in
Speaker 1: this position today, I would have never predicted one, because
Speaker 1: I just didn't think that we'd be this far along
Speaker 1: with the digital world to wear so many people. And again,
Speaker 1: it's so competitive right now to get anybody's attention for
Speaker 1: a long amount of time, longer than five to ten seconds,
Speaker 1: because if you're not interested right away with what you
Speaker 1: see on a TikTok or on a YouTube video or
Speaker 1: a tweet or whatever it is, you just move on
Speaker 1: and keep scrolling or pop over right, yeah, pop open
Speaker 1: a new app. And that's just that's just the world
Speaker 1: we're end today. And I look, if I had the
Speaker 1: answers as far as how you navigate through this when
Speaker 1: it comes to terrestrial media trying to compete, I mean,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be sitting here hosting this radio.
Speaker 2: You'd be running your own radio station exactly.
Speaker 1: So I don't know what the answer is, but I
Speaker 1: just think right now, this type of you know, this
Speaker 1: type of content, meaning the late night television shows, even
Speaker 1: if there wasn't much of a change and a shift
Speaker 1: in just the political side of it, and there wasn't
Speaker 1: the financial struggles that they're having with monetizing it, I
Speaker 1: just don't think that the younger generation. I'm not talking
Speaker 1: about children, I'm talking about people in their twenties and thirties.
Speaker 1: They're not exposed to this product. They weren't like when
Speaker 1: they became adults. It wasn't just a thing, well, hey,
Speaker 1: now I'm part of the crowd that's going to tune
Speaker 1: in and watch late night talk shows.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: It just it kind of it kind of died off.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, and this is something that the generations
Speaker 4: before us have dealt with before too. The how is
Speaker 4: radio serials and radio shows that were on TV with
Speaker 4: all these actors in the studio going to adapt to television?
Speaker 4: You know? And then how is television going to a
Speaker 4: adapt to cable TV? And how is cable TV now
Speaker 4: going to adapt to streaming. It's something that as technology progresses,
Speaker 4: you either adapt or you.
Speaker 2: Die, no doubt about it. And you are right.
Speaker 1: There have been other examples throughout history where you got,
Speaker 1: you know, things evolve, But I think technology now being
Speaker 1: the factor makes it go a billion times faster and
Speaker 1: it's harder to keep up with It's always changing. And
Speaker 1: I don't envy anybody who's and clearly there are professionals
Speaker 1: in that industry but it's it's a challenge because again,
Speaker 1: it's just so competitive to get anybody's attention, and once
Speaker 1: you get their attention, you got to keep it, and
Speaker 1: you got to build it, and you got to monetize
Speaker 1: and by the time you figure it out there may
Speaker 1: be a new way of doing it.
Speaker 2: It's gone. Yeah, it's challenging. So good stuff.
Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us, John Any good stuff. He's
Speaker 1: got a newscast coming your way here in about ten minutes.
