Online videos stealing viewers from TV


A growing number of consumers are watching their TV shows online, and more than just the cable companies are noticing. One direction online video is going is toward the creation of scripted episodes made expressly for Web sites, which emulate TV in that they are released at the same time each day or week. But these Webisodes are usually much briefer than their TV counterparts, as few computer users are willing to sit at their monitors for 30 or 60 minutes at a time.
