exactly.... the lights will go out on radio, tv and print.

There is very little tolerance for advertising in these media formats.

Radio: the station is tuned out with another push of the button (since it is basically listened to in vehicles

tv: commercials are skipped/muted/erased. plus the audiences are not going to be there for network programming in another generation.

print: advertising has some hope but only if the content keeps it's end of the bargain by delivering eyeballs. that is people who want to read current news (*emphasis on current, not yesterday's news today) and interesting and varied commentary on issues.
