Heard On Central Time

Is cable as we know it over? In the past 24 hours both HBO and CBS announced that they will launch online streaming services. We speak with an entertainment reporter about what this means for cable. Then, with more alternative TV producers popping up like Netflix and Hulu, more shows are being resurrected – most recently Twin Peaks. We ask listeners which shows they would like to see resurrected. And we hear about one conservationist’s journey trying to save the jaguar.

Featured in this Show

Derek Thompson of the Atlantic breaks down how disruptive this may be.
