If TV's entertainment remains mostly live, Manhattan will be its source and Broad way its inspiration. Should TV go to film, the bulk of the industry will shift to Hollywood-as radio did before it. Some pessimists see the day not far off when 70% of TV shows will be movies (currently, about 35% is filmed...
