YouTube vs Traditional TV

The battle was on today TV vs Internet video sites - below is from BBC News

Online video 'eroding TV viewing'

Video sharing site YouTube has taken online viewing to the masses
The online video boom is starting to eat into TV viewing time, an ICM survey of 2,070 people for the BBC suggests.
Some 43% of Britons who watch video from the internet or on a mobile device at least once a week said they watched less normal TV as a result.

And online and mobile viewing is rising - three quarters of users said they now watched more than they did a year ago.

But online video viewers are still in the minority, with just 9% of the population saying they do it regularly.

Interesting to see how this trend goes, will there be a TV vs Internet battle - or will the services merge in the age of Digital TV.

Personally I would like to see a merge and maybe have youtube as a channel on UK satalite TV.
