Looking at the decline and fall of television

The clock is ticking down on Hong Kong's venerable television broadcaster ATV.

On April 1, the city's first free-to-air broadcaster will "go to black", after nearly 60 years in the business.

Reportedly HK$2 billion ($258 million) in debt, the ailing broadcaster ran out of cash. ATV isn't alone, the slow demise of free-to-air broadcasters is a global issue.
