MAKING MOVES
The three Democratic candidates for governor debate tonight on channel 4 and the television station is gearing up not only for its broadcast coverage, but also for its online coverage.
As newspapers make rapid transitions and focus more on their web sites, television stations, especially CBS4, are also making the transition, although a bit more slowly.
The station has a section on its web site devoted to tonight's debate. CBS4 Political Analyst Jon Keller has sit down interviews with each of the Democratic contenders posted on the site as well as recent poll data and free air time for the non-Democratic candidates not participating in the debate.
CBS4, which has posted video clips of old and new news stories on its site for some time now, has also posted a promise to visitors of its site that the video of the debate would be made available "on-demand" within two hours of the end of the debate.
The television big shots must believe we don't spend enough time in front of the television and should spend more in front of our computer screens.
As newspapers rush to make their product available "on-demand," television stations are also making the same moves, but at a much slower pace. When will television stations start to compete with each other online at the pace newspapers are now? Maybe when their revenues also begin a downward spiral.
Stay tuned.
