what is wrong with network television? david: network television still gets big audiences.re are -- you can now, what five or sevenide years ago, before people had really developed with pay cable and when there was a volume of premium shows, you can now satisfy yourself living over with mad men and homeland and billions and silicon valley. you don't have to leave that neighborhood. but there are a lot of people who are very satisfied with the neighborhood that is the big bang theory, chicago fire, blackish -- interesting stuff. the networks are starting to innovate more. out of necessity. emily: should the cable companies be worried? david: they are under pressure to innovate. they are under pressure to wayge the way people -- the they make things available. and the way people are able to watch them. broadband, that is where the growth is coming from. emily: what about espn? david: espn is suffering right now, the law of egg numbers. incrediblyill an healthy cash machine and they are trying to recalibrate growth. emily: what about apple? what do you think is apple's future

it is not the same thing to say that i see the television and i watch television. they are different, but related things. when we say i hear the radio, i think what that means is in ordinary usage that i have come into the house and i realized that i left the radio on and i hear the radio as i come in. it is not the same as listening. think, and what belies much of what i have to that what we listen to in radio is what people are saying. we listen to the content of their speech. what we hear and what you are hearing now as you are listening to what i am saying, what you are hearing is my voice. it is these two things that are intimately connected in the power of radio as a medium and the experience of listening. i will be exploring the relationship between hearing and listening in relation to radio itself. then i want to reflect on, again, what it is that we hear when we listen to recordings of radio programs. i will also be speaking to, and michelle has suggested, historical radio. british and american. in what i think of as the classic, or the golden era of radio

television without sound is meaningless. the power of television's vocal -- television is vocal. i will move to my conclusion with a line from samuel taylor, the last line of his beautiful conversational problem this lined tree bow, my prison. taylor is imagining his friends returning home from a walk into the countryside as dusk falls and as the ropes lie creaking overhead before they settled into the trees overnight. the final line is, no sound is dissonant which tells of life. i cannot agree with keats that heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard of, sweeter. those famous lines are from his ode to a grecian urn. the ode to a grecian urn might just as well be called an ode to a photograph. it is an ode to what we see, not what we hear. we need an ode to a nightingale for that. death was not born, but immortal burned. the voice i hear this passing night was heard in ancient days by the emperor. bbc's radio 4, that great national talk radio station national treasure for the british middle-class as npr is over here, recently ran a whole year, monday to friday, a tweet of the d

television was in its prime. there was a lot of interest to televise proceedings of congress. they could not go on the floor. there was no c-span on the floor of the chambers in those days. the hearings of the senate were being televised. they needed better situations. better equipment. the capital building had direct current at this time, rather than alternating current. the capital building had been wired for electricity by thomas edison. sometimes, if you are ahead of the curve in terms of technology, you become obsolete faster than everyone else. until 1960, the capital had direct current, which meant you could not plug anything into the wall. as a result, the radio-tv gallery where radio and television reporters operated petitioned the senate to have a role in the construction of the new building. there were television correspondents and representatives of the television networks serving on the board to help design the building. as a result, you have large committee rooms with paneled walls. part of the panel could be lifted up. there is a section in the back where televi

we will turn to television in a moment. another phenomenon, when we still live with, was taken place in movie theaters. this was a youth rebellion, personified in this man marlon brando. it is hard to overestimate his influence on american culture, if you turn on a tv right now and watch an ad, that will be aimed at a young person and it will bear somebody who is trying to be brando in some way. begin with a young man from mississippi, we will talk about that in a minute, think of how many pop stars you have seen in campaigns who try to imitate this look. he attached -- he cast a very long shadow. he was an original, a rebel rebelling not against physical hardship or harsh economic conditions, but against conventionality, conformity, boredom -- he looked bored. he represented a generation with everything. it was a social rebellion, rather than political, rooted in self obsession and look at me, i am a bad at --with in attitude. it was toughness with vulnerability, well-being misunderstood. you can see the roots in the entir

any given television interview.never interviewed donald trump and i probably never will get to interview donald trump because i've been talking about his lies for many years. i'm the first person who donald trump threaten to sue five years ago via twitter. i'm not sure i could do better than other interviewers, but we now have a new model for how it should be done, how it can be done. the new rules of interviewing donald trump, we got the lesson yesterday, not from a television interviewer, but from a conservative radio talk show host in milwaukee. there are three rules. the first rule is you must interrupt donald trump when he is trying to run out the clock with a very long wordy statement that is not responsive to your question. rule number two, you must interrupt donald trump when he says something that is not true. >> he totally knew about it. it was done by people that he knows very well. >> it was -- it was not ted cruz or his campaign. so is your standard is -- >> no i'm just telling you he knew -- he knew. >

only one television executive has publicly acknowledged what everyone in the television business knowsbout the trump campaign for president. the head of cbs said it may not be good for america, but it's damn good for cbs. i'll ask the former ank or of cbc dan rather what television news is doing right and wrong in covering this presidential campaign next. is it becoming a better professor by being a more adventurous student? is it one day giving your daughter the opportunity she deserves? is it finally witnessing all the artistic wonders of the natural world? whatever your definition success is, helping you pursue it, is ours. t-i-a-a. don't let dust and allergies get and life's beautiful moments. with flonase allergy relief, they wont. most allergy pills only control one inflammatory substance. flonase controls six. and six is greater than one. flonase changes everything. some say "free the whales." for them, nothing else is acceptable. but nothing could be worse for the whales. most of the orcas at seaworld were born here. sending them into the wild wouldn't be noble. it could be fat

in a televised speech. the first family is here. the cuban people are welcoming them with open arms. as many ask back home, how far will be president go with what he says, about a communist government and human rights? and about the freedoms of ordinary cubans? president obama landing here in cuba late today making history. just 90 miles from the u.s. he is the first president to visit cuba in 88 years. it comes a little more than a year after the president announced the u.s. would begin normalizing relations with cuba, a thaw decades after the cold war ended.

and so they let the trump lies fly all over television. no trump interviewer on television has ever attempted to correct every lie that donald trump has said right to that interviewer's face. donald trump knows that the faster he talks, the more lies he can tell, and the faster he talks the harder it is for any interviewer to keep up with his lies. how many lies does donald trump tell? politico has actually tried to count them. politico studied 4.6 hours of trump talk last week, and they found one misstatement every five minutes on average. essentially, they found that donald trump lies about everything he talks about, from our trade deficit with china to our trade deficit with japan to manufacturing jobs, health care, christianity, how he is self-funding his campaign, and everything else you have ever heard him talk about. joining us now is darren samuelsson, one of the reporters who wrote "trump's weeks of errors, exaggerations, and flat out falsehoods" for politico. he's a senior policy reporter for politico. darren, thank you very much

and in that, it shows that television, traditional television viewing from 2011 to 2015 has gone fromour and a half hours to four hours and eleven minutes. internet, 20 minutes to an hour. so definitely tremendous growth in internet video viewing w. that said, the estimates around netflix are 5 million people actually will watch one of the new episode premier of "house of cards" in the first 30 days and that is not dramatically better than a traditional tv sitcom or something of that nature. so is a bit of a mixed bag. >> yeah. a good "big bang" will get you 15, 18 million viewers. >> yes. the issue not to be missed issin evidently, it is newspapers, the viewing is going to all different platforms, as well. it doesn't mean people won't watch tv but the idea they're watching on a linear cable system, that is over. we are now in the hours of decline. we're in the twilight. >> that's where i take issue. >> i know. >> because you say it's newspapers. the thing that destroyed the newspaper business wasn't just the decline in viewership. it was the evaporation of the classified advertising

oligarchs owned television, state owned television. he understood that television mattered in russia as a way to maintain power, and to control the airwaves. he took over mtv and it was a formative event of his early presidency. it showed a lot of what would come. rt is a natural extension of that. tv matters in controlling politics. brian: how much information is blocked in russia, if any? susan: you can get on the internet. it is not like in china, there is no great firewall at least , yet. they are extremely successful in the manipulation of the information environment. the one and only independent television network that russia ever had was the very first thing that vladimir putin and his team, took over, understanding the importance of that. this is a country where the centralized tv networks and tv news makes a huge difference. almost the only thing that binds this vast country couple of different time zones. it really matters in a way. it is hard to remember, here in the united states, back to the era when people sat at home and
