Colbert couldn’t survive the attention economy. Can your next event?
Stephen Colbert’s Late Show once pulled in millions of viewers. But recently, CBS canceled it after losing $40 million a year. Why? Not because the content was bad, but because the format no longer fit how people consume content today. In this solo episode of Production Value Matters, host Matthew Byrne explains why this isn’t just a broadcast TV problem, it’s a wake-up call for anyone producing business events.
Matthew unpacks how the same outdated model that led to Colbert’s decline is still being used in boardrooms and ballrooms—and why that has to change. He introduces the concept of the attention economy, where audience engagement is more valuable (and more fragile) than ever. You’ll learn how to modernize your event strategy to meet today’s viewing habits and expectations, using flexible, data-driven formats like virtual, hybrid, and micro events.
Whether you're producing a global summit or a private roundtable, this episode is your guide to creating events that are leaner, more engaging, and built for today’s reality.
