[David Mathis] “Looks like X is no longer a toy, debate is over. “

Geez, David, don’t say that! What will they “debate” at NAB? And then we have to debate about the new name for this forum (which really needs a new name)!

[Mark Suszko] “40 K a year is not exactly failing, but it’s really just a starting wage for someone at the lower rungs of the ladder, or a really sweet part-time gig on the side.”

I teach at the #1 graduate school for advertising in the country and our art directors and copywriters average between 45-50k getting out…in any market (with a masters). I would say that $40k for possibly your first job is pretty comfy. That will be filled quickly.

This gig could go to a kid a few years out of college. Forty grand and bennies is not too bad at 23 or 24…

And then there’s this: https://www.wsj.com/articles/apple-in-talks-to-launch-online-tv-service-1426555611

I just cut the cord, after battling Metrocast for 19 months to extend it’s lines down to the end of our neighborhood. I realized that cable is mostly a vast wasteland of infomercials and really bad reality TV (is there good Reality TV?). So I killed the TV account and upped the internet speed to the highest available. While I certainly understand the “limited choices” you speak of, except for NFL and NHL games, I miss very little of having cable. Maybe the future will be these a la carte services of live TV…
