Honorees reflect on Tartikoff

Conjectures on how TV legend would handle modern challenges
Brandon Tartikoff was the first member of the generation raised on TV to control what a network put on TV. Named NBC's program chief in 1981 at the age of 31, the wunderkind gave us modern classics like "Cheers" and "St. Elsewhere" -- and was an effusive champion of the medium itself. He lived and breathed TV, having grown up in the glow of the cathode ray tube.
