By Late 2006 Youtube graced the cover of Time Magazine and became mainstream pop culture officially. I remember during this
period is when people were getting distracted from watching TV and had to go check the computer to see what was on Youtube.
It really was a real disruptor. This is the school year the iCarly pilot was shot. I also remember music videos were being posted on youtube
first before they even hit MTV,VH1 & BET, rendering those networks useless for music videos. The impact that Youtube had when it blew up
CAN NOT be understated lol

Yeah for sure, even the choices of what you could watch online was still is in infancy there was sense of it having more weight and just starting to become a viable alternative to TV, especially compared to earlier years, I remember starting to getting more into youtube at this time; concerts I missed, music videos I couldn't find in earlier years, there was an increasing variety of episodes from cartoons and series that were being uploaded for the first, waiting for the avgn, there was this sense of video content online getting better, even if there were still tons of typical juvenile and humor vids still around. I think I have better memories of youtube than TV personally from this time.

This, plus the launch of the Wii, is precisely the reason I believe the late 2000s started on time.

This, plus the launch of the Wii, is precisely the reason I believe the late 2000s started on time. It changed the game so much in those few months that MTV was going to cancel TRL, mind you this was Q1 2007 www.forbes.com/2007/02/15/mtv-trl-viacom-tech-media-cx_lh_0215mtv.htmlFeb 15, 2007,02:00pm EST
"The future of MTV's signature music video show, Total Request Live, looks precarious, illustrating the Viacom network's struggles to stay relevant in an increasingly Web-based media landscape.
Speculation inside MTV and at the major music labels has been mounting that TRL, a daily afternoon show that has been experiencing declining ratings, will soon be canceled or scaled back to two days a week. The newest fuel for the rumor mill: the fact that much of the staff at TRL's studio at New York City's Times Square was laid off late Tuesday, including members of the wardrobe, makeup and technical staff."

I remember E!'s the Soup started showing snippets of LonelyGrl15's vlogs and thats when you knew TV was shook lol
