one of the things that really made me understand this was an interview with country singer Clint Black. they asked him "how do you know if a song will succeed?" he said you have 15 seconds. in that first 15 seconds you decide to continue listening or change the station. after that I started watching the technical side of NASCAR and other sports. how long will you see the same camera angle? no more than 10-15 seconds and then it goes to another camera. why? your brain thinks something is going on because the camera changed. this goes back to what I said about you have to make it seem interesting to get people to pay attention. can an exciting show be put together, absolutely, but it takes someone with outside the box thinking to get the attention of those not already excited to see it.
