Bernoff says the new formats could include ads, as CBS's do. Video clips at websites like MTV's and CNN's, he notes, include spots that sell for a higher rate per viewer than TV equivalents. And selling shows could diversify the revenue streams of a business that's almost wholly dependent on Madison Avenue--which, with more viewers using digital video recorders like TiVo to skip commercials, is already threatening to pull money from TV and put it into other media...
...lineup for last Monday’s concert at the Roxy was more Animal Planet than MTV, as pastoral electronicists Caribou and Welsh psychedelic goof-rockers Super Furry Animals stampeded the stage. The bill was remarkable for its balance; Caribou has ridden a series of melodic electro-acoustic albums to critical darlingdom, while SFA have enjoyed considerable success in the U.K. over the past decade. To veteran concertgoers, the chance to hear two world-class performances in one night might have seemed too good to be true. Unfortunately, it was: while Caribou’s star is still rising...
After 10 days, the trio piled into a Renault 25 and set off for Venice. In a hotel restaurant on the road, with Charlotte upstairs watching MTV, Gaghan felt comfortable enough to ask, "So, you ever kill anybody?"

...that were fine when charging by the minute was standard. Today back-end operations must handle a variety of complex charges, often from third parties, ranging from e-mail services to games, screensavers and other data transactions. As more consumers buy Internet-ready smart phones, and media giants like MTV, Disney, Time Warner and Fox clamor to deliver content to the "third screen," revenue leakage will only get worse. The solution? Mobile carriers need to revamp their back-end systems, ensure real-time authorization of purchases and secure their electronic storefronts. Even then, teens will probably outsmart them...
...Dumbest Duo to Monopolize Time of Lonely Boys with Nothing to Do but Watch TV and Go ''Heh-Heh, Heh-Heh'' Beavis and Butt-head, the cartoon troglodytes who critique (and promote) MTV videos. Their show became a teen fave and a parent's bane. In a crowded field, B. & B. were the year's top icons of idiot chic...
