Forum: classic_tv Subject: Which TV networks/channels will be remembered?

50 years from now, when television has long since ceased to exist, which networks/channels do you think will be remembered? For example, some of the networks/channels which I think will be remembered include CBS, Seven Network, BBC (which I very much expect will survive as a production company when TV broadcasts cease in a couple decades from now), and Thames Television (Thames ceased broadcasting in 1992, but remains quite famous). On the other hand, I suspect few people 50 years from now will have heard of The CW, UPN, SBS, and Channel 5 (UK). How about you? Which networks/channels do you think will be remembered 50 years from now, and which do you think will be forgotten?

I would think DuMont would be remembered for historical value.
CBC will still be broadcasting radio.
Fox will still be making films.

NBC, CBS, ABC who?

Given their recent buy-out by Disney, I'm not entirely convinced 20th Century Fox will still be around 50 years from now....
