065 | 从鸡毛秀到CBS易主:美国传统电视的末代危机 Unplugging Network TV

【聊了什么】

“鸡毛秀”停播风波不仅是一场关于言论自由的攻防战,更是美国传统媒体结构性危机的集中爆发。本期节目从这起风波说起,回溯美国广播电视网与地方台独特的共生关系,以及监管机构FCC在其中扮演的角色。

当旧的秩序摇摇欲坠,新的变革也已登堂入室。我们同时将目光投向另一家传统媒体巨头CBS,探讨Bari Weiss的“空降”将给传统新闻编辑室带来怎样的颠覆性实验。一边是在旧体系内艰难挣扎的深夜秀,一边是试图从内部进行激进重塑的百年新闻部。当百年形成的媒体结构遭遇政治极化与新技术的双重冲击,传统电视的未来将走向何方?

【 What We Talked About】

The suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live was more than a free speech debate—it was a flare-up of the deep, structural crisis in American media. This episode unpacks that crisis, from the complex relationship between networks and local affiliates to the power of the FCC.

While the old system crumbles, a radical new experiment is underway at CBS. We examine what happens when an outsider like Bari Weiss is put in charge of a traditional newsroom—a story of external pressure versus a high-stakes internal overhaul. Facing political division and technological disruption, what is the future of traditional TV?
