The nature of television is changing. The advent of DVRs and TiVo, along with the wide-spread use of the internet, has impacted programming content and styles.
Ever the innovator, FOX network is trying to keep advertisers and consumers connected. Their new shows Dollhouse and Fringe now tell the viewer whether the commercial break will last 60 or 90 seconds. The hope is that viewers will choose to "stay put" through the shorter break, thus viewing the commercials. This is merely one example of how programming is adapting in light of the changing technology.
Reflect on what else is happening or might happen as the networks attempt to stay relevant in the new millennium.
