Glenn Beck laid out his vision on the future of digital media Tuesday, telling an audience at a New York media conference that traditional television is on its way out and an interactive, user-directed experience is on its way in.
Speaking at the Advertising Age Media Evolved conference in Manhattan, two months after the launch of online-only GBTV, Beck suggested the media world is at a crossroads between young and old.
“I don’t know anybody under 30 who is watching television,” Beck said in an onstage interview with Betsy Morgan, president of The Blaze. “We are at a split right now. The generation that is my age — slightly over 50, 55 — they’re not using iPad. They don’t get it, they don’t want it….They’re still using television, that’s their comfort zone. The younger generation, that’s not their comfort zone, it‘s a stupid box that you’re tied to.”
Ad Age has more:
Mr. Beck, who called this moment “one of the most exciting times [in media] since the printing press,” forecast a future in which audiences have much more personalized control over content — deciding, for example, to slow down or speed up one of Mr. Beck’s signature, chalkboard-guided tirades with more or less on-screen context.
“It’ll have two arrows — that way to dumb down, that way to dumb up,” he said. “You don’t have to stay at my level, you can go below me, you can go above me. The revolution that’s coming is about the individual.”
“Don’t let some fat-cat executive [determine programming]. You decide that,” Mr. Beck said.
The Hollywood Reporter added:
[H]e emphasized that focusing on traditional media delivery would have kept him from helping pioneer new models. “We are on the verge of revolution” that is as profound as the Industrial Revolution was, but will happen much faster, Beck said. “We‘ll find out soon whether we’re too early or not.”
His estimate was that his focus on a new type of media empire may be three to five years ahead of its time. But following a tipping point in the media industry, “delivery as you want it” will become the standard, he predicted. The revolution that is in the works “is all about the individual,” he added. “It is so close to the American Revolution. It’s about you.”
He told his audience that as a result, in the future, no media executive would get to tell consumers which show is on or off. “The days of 500 sat channels [are] over,” Beck said. “You have to know exactly who you are” and who your audience is. After all, people these days look for myriad opinions on different sites where they know what to expect.
Speaking directly to advertisers, Beck urged them not to treat viewers “like they’re morons.”
“Stop treating your viewers like they’re morons. They’re not morons,” Beck said. “You’ve got to start respecting people….People are people! Respect the end-user. Respect the end-user. Even if you don’t agree with them, respect them, and they will be loyal to the end of time, because you stood up for what you believe in.”
If social media response is any indication, Beck’s talk was well-received among those watching, who posted their real-time observations on Twitter:
Even a user who apparently disagrees with Beck’s politics found reason to enjoy his talk:

Even if you think about the way they are still watching TV, it’s not that different than getting it on demand over the internet since many TV users will use TIVO or something else to choose what they are watching when they want to watch it. A subscription to something like Hulu Plus, GBTV, or some other video site will be cheaper than a satellite or cable subscription.

Posted on November 16, 2011 at 8:57pmENCINOM – You are a major part of the problem we are having in the USA. You spout ridiculous statements and don’t “clean your own backyard”. What you wish for your fellow man, even “joking” or “sarchastic”, is what you are projecting from inside yourself. Obviously, you do not believe in overcoming any personal character problems, which we all have, thus you lash out at others in order to make yourself look good. I am flawed and have character flaws. However, I don’t use other people as those to blame for my insecurities. Be a part of the solution! When someone blames, which is really believing that one is a victim, that person does not usually ever have a solution to any of the problems. If you have a solution, have the courage to share it, and we can all benefit. Your approach, however well intended, cannot help you or me.

Posted on November 16, 2011 at 2:45pmI recently invested in an Apple Mini for use as a home media server. I use the Mini and a program called Plex to manage my movie and TV program library, and to watch GBTV and other online programming sources. Dish Network is about to get my cancellation call.
One thing I learned about our viewing habits was that we used to watch TV just because it was turned on. It served as background noise almost all of the time, pouring wacko indoctrination into our living room for hours each evening. Now we watch with purpose, only viewing what we want to see when we want to see it.
Combined with a local TV antenna for local news and weather, this is all we need.

The problems are that both in ideology, views, politics people are just going to listen to those that have their views and propaganda so become more out of touch with others views and or reality like Liberals; this lack of perspective will cause even greater ideology views politics gap divide and blind many to state control. While internet current causes greater dialog of views the websites invisiblely hid censorship and control of topics, comments, wordage, views this if controlled by the govnm as is looming would both control and target any dissention!

Posted on November 16, 2011 at 2:19pmGlenn Beck’s got it right. Though I would caution that he not write off the baby boomers. Most of them have cancelled their cable and are looking for their news elsewhere as well. They too are sick of the lies that the government MSM has been spouting for years now and they don’t trust them anymore. Believe me, I know.
Glenn, your timing is right on with GBTV. People are looking for the truth and they think they can get it from you because you are not owned. You are your own man. You and your GBTV are precisely what we have been looking for for years now. And don’t ever underestimate your world appeal. You need some translators to get the word out to all the people around the world. Believe me, it will make a difference because it is the people who will ultimately have to hold these thug-globalist institutions and their globalist thug-manipulator’s feet to the fire.
World people-communication is going to be the name of the game in the future. Because all our Marxist and Nazi Western thug-governments have been taken over by the tyrannical global Marxists and Mohammedists whose game is to betray we the people into subserviance, and we the people are going to take them down through the court of public opinion and the knowledge of history where all totalitarian governments have led to death by government and there has been no exception.

Posted on November 16, 2011 at 1:55pmI like the concept. I bought the ROKU to get to get GBTV. After you play with it for a while, you can see this will be the future. Only pay for the programing you want. It will be fun to watch the liberal media dissolve like the Wicked Witch of the West.

Posted on November 16, 2011 at 2:16pmGonzo, as a ROKU owner, I could not agree more. My grandkids can watch God-centered programming on Netflix, but getting GBTV was the real reason for getting it! [BTW, Glenn, I'm 60+ and have a Netflix account. SURPRISE!] There is so much content, and the education I get is worth the minimal cost!

Posted on November 16, 2011 at 2:44pmSo funny, we were with out cable for 2 days–we rarely watch TV but my kids like to watch 2 shoes they had to miss yesterday evening–that all we missed. Anyway something went wrong with our cable connection outside. At first the guys said it was inside–and we’d have to pay for it. So while he was fussing around with stuff my husband says “You know, yesterday I got a coupon for $10 off A Roku and free shipping from Glenn Beck” Amazing how the problem was outside after that.

Posted on November 16, 2011 at 3:00pmI don’t have a ROKU but am considering it. The only thing that concerns me is parental control over what my children watch on the ROKU. Can anyone enlighten me here?

Report Post »GREAT comment Gonzo. My favorite in a long time. Libs are only 20% of the population
but control most of the media and spew their bias. Technology will defeat them.
Hooray! Joy, joy, joy!
