In his keynote, Reilly was realistic about the challenges facing the industry telling attendees that television is not dying, but "we're drawing down old business before we can monetize new business," and that has to change. Citing progress Fox is making with Hulu and other digital businesses, he was positive and upbeat about the future saying this is a "great transitional time" for the television industry. There are challenges ahead, but "we're not the auto industry."
