Yep. Live events are what keep TV going at the moment. That's why I was shocked that NPR cut the plug on Talk of the Nation. It was really the only show that you couldn't just stream and get the same effect. Call in shows are less interesting if you feel you couldn't be a "caller" yourself, thus people "tune in". Now, public radio can be cherry-picked and you needn't even listen to your particular "local station."
