from WPTF Afternoon News

Revenue across networks has dried up and Generation Y moves towards streaming and podcasts for their entertainment. Is Colbert’s departure the beginning of the end for late night television as a whole? UNC Journalism professor Charlie Tuggle joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss the future of a medium once dominated by Johnny Carson, David Letterman and Jay Leno.
