Televisionation: Friday Fireside features Rick Howe, The iTV Doctor, in conversation with prominent figures from the advanced-TV/video industry.

This week’s edition of The Friday Fireside asks, “When will Comcast acquire Roku?” That, along with the more existential “What's Next for Television?,” are two of the key questions answered by Gerard Kunkel, Chris Falkner and Patrick Donoghue from Next Media Partners, a business, product and technology consultancy led by executives with vast operating experience in creating products and services for media, entertainment and communications.
