Re: (TV) Ring tones or yet another way for Television to make money

[Russ Van Rooy <russvr@pop.nwnexus.com>]

 From an article in this weeks WillametteWeekly 
<http://www.wweek.com/story.php?story=6199>, an interview with Greil 
Marcus, Marcus implies that the new top 40 is ring tones:

"It could be true that the barometer is really ringtones. That may be 
where the taste of the nation is being exercised most intensely and 
where the whole notion of young people identifying with this or that 
performer is most direct. Who's on your cell phone this week? God knows 
that's where a lot of the money is being made, in downloading ringtones."

No money for Telly...
