those thinking the TV money will keep growing at double digits for the NFL need to think again

What exactly is this supposed to be about?

This looks like a comparison between show productions from each sector. Cable producing better TV series than network television.

There is only 1 NFL. Whichever network has the games will get the ratings no matter what.

Don't know what those articles are about, just skimmed them.

1) I think NFL Redzone is taking a big chunk of viewers away from the networks on Sunday from 1 - 7 pm. I only watch redzone during that time, and I don't think I am alone. I tape the cowboy games when they are on TV and skip the commercials when I watch the tape.

2) I have a decent amount of stock in Viacom and CBS which are media companies. They are at all-time highs and all revenue is up big. Why? I have no idea.

Try reading between the lines. As I pointed out, ad revenue is flat and not expected to grow that much.

and guess what- if you look a little harder they also point out the continuing shrinkage of the audience size of the major networks.
