SAG outlines new-media value

April 24, 2008 The report states that the leading 100 media companies will earn $20.7 billion in Internet revenue, with advertisers forecast to spend $2.9 billion annually on online video ads by 2010. On the TV side, among some things SAG sees as an opportunity for actors residuals are shows being streamed multiple times before broadcast and content made exclusively for the Internet being created to complement the fall lineup, according to the report.
