Harvey Levin Predicts TV Will Be Dead In 10 Years

Harvey Levin recently spoke at the 39th Annual UCLA Entertainment Symposium about the future of traditional media. The Hollywood Reporter quotes Levin as follows:

"I don’t think there’s going to be television in ten years, and maybe [not] in five years. [Convergence of media and of television devices – an Internet/television fusion that Levin calls Intervision] will make studios less relevant. Newspapers [and] magazines are going away."

He specifically points out on the advertisements on the evening news:

"It’s all about hospice care. It’s all pills and death. Have you seen Xbox advertised on network news?"

And on the audience of the evening news:

"It’s all 60-plus. You know where that ends, right?"

Do you agree with Harvey Levin's assessment?
