Michael Douglas FBI Ad, Death of Broadcasting, House Ads
Actor Michael Douglas filmed a public service announcement for the FBI regarding securities fraud and insider trading, reprising his Gordon Gekko persona. Meanwhile, local television stations like KSPW are running "house ads" for their own programming due to a lack of commercial advertisers. This trend is cited as evidence of the "death of broadcasting" as traditional revenue models fail.
