<P>Everyone has a theory to explain the plummeting ratings: early <A title=""

relIdx="2">Daylight Savings Time</A>, more reruns, bad shows, more shows being 
recorded or downloaded or streamed. 
<P>Scariest of all for the networks, however, is the idea that many people are 
now making their own television schedules. The industry isn't fully equipped to 
keep track of them, and as a result the networks are scrambling to hold on to 
the nearly $8.8 billion they collected during last spring's ad-buying season. 
<P>"This may be the spring where we see a radical shift in the way the culture 
thinks of watching TV," said Sarah Bunting, co-founder of the Web site 
Television Without Pity. 
<P>The viewer plunge couldn't have come at a worse time for the networks—next 
week they will showcase their fall schedules to advertisers in the annual "up 
front" presentations. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/DBC980DD-8C09-4B79-A3BF-85037AF8E9E4/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
