Inject fresh blood into TV programs and make them develop according to the objective law. In February 2016, the BBC decided to shut down its television channels on the BBC Three channel, which mainly caters to young people, and to retain only the Internet channels. During the 2016 Rio Olympics, NBC ratings in the U.S. dropped 20% from four years ago, and the process of canceling traditional TV subscriptions to move to digital streaming is accelerating. TV directors should help TV programs out of the difficult situation and achieve the long-term development.
