There is a recent news story about CBS trying to suppress CNET (A subsidiary) from promoting / voting a DVR device that skips advertising from winning their “best in show” at CES.

Articles are putting up that CBS is trying to defend its position against DVR technology in general, in their ongoing lawsuit against the ability to skip advertising.

In the light of “new” tech preventing “old” tech from directly and in-directly getting money by sponsors:

Did Radio have any trouble with TV when TV was establishing itself?

I don’t think so. The pioneers of televison were radio broadcasters.

radio actors did promote themselves about their tv work, many stars went to tv and many did simultaneously have radio and tv shows.

the networks promoted the new tv media on their radio networks.

Radio and TV got along together, but 20 years earlier, newspapers and radio had major clashes over content and advertising. For that matter, radio and the musicians unions feuded for years over the use of recorded music, so there have always been new vs. old media clashes.

Ironic, in that CBS is the only one of the “big four” that doesn’t disable the ffwd functions when watching their shows via OnDemand.
