It's very true. I actually have first-hand knowledge of the $$$ signs advertisers get in their eyes around election time. Only the Super Bowl & The Olympics come close.

I'm not in advertising, but a peripheral industry. That industry is terrified by cord-cutters(such as myself, ironically.) The more we can break away from traditional TV, the better off we will all be.
