Fred Silverman's New View Is Local and Digital

摘要

When fred silverman talks about television, you listen. Silverman is the legendary TV executive who programmed each of the Big Three broadcast networks, airing series including All in the Family, Charlie's Angels and Roots. He then became one of the industry's most prolific producers of TV series and movies.Now, with the networks under siege from technologies ranging from the DVR to streaming video, Silverman sees local stations as the survivors in the broadcast world, and he's pitching what he calls a "new localism."Going back to the future, Silverman has put together what could be his last big project: CTY/VU TV, or City View, a service featuring live original, local entertainment programming that the 76-year-old executive would help stations produce. The shows would air on the digital sub-channels that stations broadcast.
