I much more prefer to watch talks/conference online, if available. There would be no ads nor some other kind of junk flying over, just scientific bytes from the people who really care about science, and I can work at the same time.
Doing this on TV channel is kind of waist of money and energy. The commercial benifit flowing into the corporated media should be put to some other better place. There are alreadt some popular channel like NASA and discover.
I would think researchers & scientists site more traditional resoursecs because of their authority, like some kind of prevailing judgement in that field.
Still, e-print service like ArXiv has become some kind of standard for researchers, which is maintained by serious people and releases the latest development,keeps track of intersting competitions, and occasinally some funny articles .
It is quite helpful if it is run seriously.
