The Next Big Thing: Personal Television Network

Over at "The Next Big Thing," I've added "personal television networks." My hunch is that millennials have already done this but cable providers and satellite providers need to make it as easy as Apple iTunes and Apple television.

From the extensive library of all networks available, an individual would simply go down the list checking off which network he/she wants to watch at any given hour/day throughout the week.

So, for example, "Bruce's Television Network (BTN), all times Central Time:

• 05:00 - 6:00: BBC World News (in London, it would be about noon)
• 06:00 - 07:00: CNBC
• 07:00 - 08:00: business news from a regional network based in Chicago
• 08:00 - 09:00: business podcasts from the internet
• 09:00 - 10:00: BBC World News (in London, it would be about noon), in case I sleep in
• 10:00 - 11:00: TBD
• 12:00 - 1:00: TBD
• 1:00 - 3:00: TCM classic movies
• 3:00 - 4:00: CNBC
• 4:00 - 5:00: business news from a regional network based in Los Angeles
• 5:00 - 9:00: "Big Bang Theory"; "Bob's Burgers"; ESPN; poker; Lawrence Welk; Miami Vice; Columbo; mix
• 9:00 - 11:00: TCM classic movies

And again, the millennials have probably figured out how to do this but BTN would simply be another channel available for surfing, and once up and running, anyone could surf to that network.
