Turner's Gerhard Zeiler: Forget Netflix, this is the 'golden age' of TV

Far from being under threat from new technologies, television is currently experiencing a “golden age”, according to the boss of Turner Broadcasting International.

Speaking to M&M Global at last week’s Festival of Media LatAm event in Miami, Turner president Gerhard Zeiler argued that critics of TV forget the medium is offering consumers more choice than ever before.

“TV has never been down, it was always open to new developments. There is more high quality content than ever before. People can choose from more content, from more channels, and they have more freedom and control – yes, this is the golden age of television,” said Zeiler.http://www.mandmglobal.com/news/06-10-14/turners-gerhard-zeiler-forget-netflix-this-is.aspx?_cldee=amFuZUBjYXNiYWEuY29t
