Us small guys have always been pushed to the back of shows with all the big wigs up front and center. TRUE its about advertising dollars and budget and stuff. But surely they can figure a way to get the smaller guys in the mix , which they havent and now it bites them in the butt.
In good times when it's easy it's about advertisers. In bad times when things are hard it's about having a product that people want, trust and respect. Were the advertisers buying space because it made money or made them look good? For decades the DVD industry has known what you're saying Joe, now they know advertising is a part of the budget that can be trimmed.
