* The MediaNotes/{{Academy Award}}s have struggled with cratering ratings in TheNewTens and beyond because, with the Internet and smartphone technology in particular, people can seek out the winners in real-time without having to actually watch the three-hour-plus ceremony. Despite the Oscars trying to throw multiple gimmicks at the wall in hopes of earning back viewers, the modern way of information has only left viewers who actually watch for the ceremony rather than "who won?", resulting in the broadcast going from drawing 43 million in 2014 to below 20 million viewers in TheNewTwenties.

* ''Series/Daredevil2015'': {{Conversed}} in [[Recap/Daredevil2015S1E3RabbitInASnowstorm "Rabbit in a Snowstorm"]] by executive editor Mitchell Ellison. He bitterly points to Ben Ulrich the many benefits of being an online news source.

* Creator/NBC: Olympic broadcasts are a textbook example. They are often Live but Delayed by many, many hours (around 16 hours for the Beijing opening ceremonies) until the American prime time when the most advertising dollars are. NBC recently persuaded the International Olympic Committee to schedule more popular events live at times more acceptable to Americans to avoid spoilers, but even then the east-west time zone delay means that half the country is spoiled thanks to the news. Finding other methods to watch the Olympics is becoming increasingly common among fans, such as watching the Olympics from other countries or from sponsored websites.

Contrast NewMediaAreEvil, when newer forms of entertainment are seen as evil/harmful, and MediaScaremongering. It's part of the reason why TitlePlease exists; episode titles are rarely shown on-screen due to assuming the viewer has an interactive program guide.
