joel OK, so you fork out $70-80 a month for digital cable, another $9 or more for Netflix, not to mention your $14 Sirius/XM, and $15+ newspaper subscriptions. Now the TV networks behind Hulu are hoping that you’ll share a ten-spot for unlimited access to your favorite TV series. Introducing Hulu Plus
What do you think? Is $10 a month for TV worth the same as $9 a month for DVD and streaming movies?
This media stuff for the consumer is getting expensive!

Deep Background for November 29-December 5, 2009
I spent the couple days off on Thanksgiving remembering when I used to work on the holiday and watching the TV show that greatly influenced my getting into the business, “WKRP in Cincinnati.” HT to Jim Griffey for the Turkey Drop link (oh the humanity!).
My first Thanksgiving away from home included a lengthy airshift on WDOE/Dunkirk punctuated by a Swanson “Hungry Man” frozen turkey dinner. I was really feeling sorry for myself. Later years included switching automation tapes and recording voice tracks so that others could enjoy time off.
I think working in media on a holiday is one of those invisible badges of honor that we accept when we enter the field.
