“Here in the UK, we've now got an evangelical television channel - it's the kind of thing that will be very familiar to everyone in the United States, especially if you've ever turned on your TV set on a Sunday morning, and seen one holy man after another, urging you to send money so that Jesus can buy a new cadillac. Apparently, Jesus can't save the world until he's been properly kitted out with a million-dollar mansion, and a private jet - some small print in the Gospels that we must have missed.” IfsMenWorldKindStatesJesusUnitedMorningMillionsUnited StatesTelevisionTvsHolyDollarsFamiliarSundayPrintMillion DollarsJetSave The WorldEvangelicalMansionsSunday MorningCadillacsHoly ManPrivate JetSmall Print Author:Pat Condell
“Today, National Geographic has a membership side with a magazine and some television side, and they generate about a billion dollars in revenue, and they're profitable. And so at the end of the year they have some bottom line profit which they can then reinvest, because they're running it as a not-for-profit in charitable endeavors.” YearsEndsRunningTodaySidesLinesBusinessTelevisionDollarsBottomProfitBillionsMagazinesEndeavorRevenueBottom LineProfitableCharitableMembershipNational Geographic Author:Steve Case
“TV is such a success nowadays because it gives back in a way that features can't. If you go to a film, you only get two hours of great storytellers and performers, and you pay top dollar for that. If you're subscribing to premium channels and you're getting all of these amazing TV shows, and you're watching them as you want, where you want, when you want, on what you want, I think that is the "the golden era of TV" in what television shows are offering to audiences. We're giving them a lot more. It's quality.” IfsThinkingWayWantGivingTwoShowsFilmHoursPayQualityAudienceTelevisionTvsDollarsWhat You WantGoldenErasFeaturesPerformersOfferingTv ShowsStorytellerGiving BackTelevision ShowsPremium Author:Milo Ventimiglia
“I saw the end of the general magazine business at the end of the '70s, and I knew I had to move into another profession when the advertising dollar moved from magazines to television.
