How significant is the trend towards user-generated content?
Back in the late 1980s, an executive who worked for me at ABC, when I was running ABC's prime time business, came to me with a tape of a programme from Japan that featured home videos and user-generated content. It became America's Funniest Home Videos - this was 1989. It's 2007 and the programme is still on!
[User-generated content] is not going to take over the world. I'm only sorry we didn't get there first online [before YouTube], having put our programme on ABC.
