Legacy Media Sniping Distracting from Big Tech Competition: Analyst

Legacy media companies "continue to snipe" at one another instead of collaborating against their real streaming competition -- deep-pocket companies where TV is a side business at most, such as Google, Meta, Amazon, TikTok and Nintendo, TVREV's Alan Wolk wrote Friday. It's "sheer stupidity" to shift the focus from the traditional model of carriage and retransmission consent fees in favor of over-the-top, Wolk added. Legacy programmers should focus foremost on a universally agreed upon method for measuring views for advertising purposes and stick to that agreement, he said.
