"We are, in fact, in the middle of a technological tsunami, a giant wave, capable of totally transforming the media landscape. All over the world, broadcasters, both public and commercial, are hastily developing new strategies to survive such changes. And as all big wave riders will tell you, you have to catch the wave first and be steady enough and ready enough to ride it all the way to shore....we aspire to expand our reach and our services through the new digital technologies; finding new ways to deliver our content to citizens anywhere they want, anytime they want, on whatever digital device or gadget they choose - in bites, bits, small and wide screen, cable or satellite, over the air or through a iPod or pager."
 
-- address by PBS President Pat Mitchell at the University of Chicago, December 2, 2004

TFAO's audit of the link to a content page on a source's site, other than TFAO or Resource Library, may reveal that the link is broken.

If the attempt is not successful, TFAO makes a note of the failed search. A note is placed after the content title such as: (4/27/09 advanced search failed to locate content on source's site)
