Hard News: The Future of Television, in reply to Dylan Reeve,
For the people who are using TV simply as a form of passive entertainment the idea of having to seek and choose specific content is alienating.
though peer-curation is now an option, rather than everyone relying on the same 'programmer' to decide what they'll like next.

mainstream commercial music in 1976
Media engagement was way less fragmented then than now. Any sort of widespread outrage is hard to induce. Though our glorious govt achieved it by threatening to mine in national parks.

Many businesses also borrow from banks - usually against plant/stock or even the accounts receivable ledger.
Or against, you guessed it, a house.

I am put in mind of our young fogey commisioner's incredulity at the news that our Media3 TV commentator, Joe Nunweek, did not own a TV.
I recall that, yes. Generation gaps come in all shapes and sizes.

There is an unspoken assumption in all this that TV is still the cultural fulcrum it (arguably) once was
True. Broadcast aint the dominant arrangement but we're not adjusting our mindset uniformly fast. Consult most teenagers about how they see it.

So I watched ALL of the block NZ.
Your resilience is admirable. Didn't see one glimpse of the builder I randomly knew was in the background somewhere despite watching at least 50% of the eps.
Got to know the characters and the tone quite well. Crass product plugs seem rather American. Producers/Directors do a good job of the human side of the show, though the Aussie version seems to have more actual building involved. Enjoyed the Twitter angle from time to time, including finale.

China can do any kind of manufacturing, NZ needs to focus on the niches it can do better than the rest. Screen production would seem to be one of those
Quite. Exchange rate engineered to prop up housing mortgage market can undermine that as we're seeing. Stoopid govt.
