Worst week in the history of broadcast TV

Last week was the least-viewed week in the history of broadcast network television in the USA.
CBS, ABC, NBC and Fox averaged 20.8 million viewers during the average prime-time minute last week, according to Nielsen Media Research. That sunk below the previous record, set during the last week of July in 2005.

Everything BUT television is growing on the US market. The advertising dollars will continue their exodus from the TV screens to the Web, video games, podcasts, etc…

So what will the big networks do now? Organize weekly Superbowls, or embrace new medias to try to capitalize on the relations they built with all of us?

The clock is ticking, and time is getting shorter with the Web it seems.
