More transitioning from TV only to computers

Are you aware of this yet? Comedian/political commentator Bill Maher of HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" is taking his political humor and satire standup show online to Yahoo!. It is to air this Thursday at 9:30 pm Central time. It should be interesting, at least, if not fascinating. I predict it will be wildly successful, first, and that it will herald the further shifting of more media events AWAY from television--or strictly television--and more and more to streaming to TV AND the internet. Also, as this is done, if the source is wanting a younger and younger audience, it will go far more purely to a computer-only stream. Now, before any of you "oldsters" panic, keep in mind that, if you get current and updated, your computer can or will be able to hook straight into your television monitor so relax. Stay tuned, so to speak (no pun intended). This will get more and more interesting. It will also accelerate very soon, too, this transition.
