KidScreen Poll

Time Warner Cable CEO Glenn Britt has recently gone on record to say that he has a problem with nets streaming free full-length eps of content online. Some suggest that the US cable carriers may start witholding subscriber fees, cutting network revenues, if the practice continues. Do you think the situation will affect original kids TV production in the US?
Yes, when the networks lose money production budgets suffer
Maybe, if the MSOs and the Networks can't reach an online rev-share model
No, the networks need new content to drive viewership and online traffic
