My wife and I have stopped watching food/travel shows. Instead, we just put on some of our favorite food channels on YouTube - like FoodRanger (Trevor James) or Migrationology (Mark Wiens).

I don't even get what TV channels are doing anymore. Trevor James' video on street food in Mumbai has around 8.5M views. He is also awkwardly affable and a great, gracious host.

Why aren't TV execs giving people like him TV deals is beyond me.

Here, you have a guy who has nearly 700,000 subscribers, is fun to watch and averages over a million views for each video...and you hire some no-name moron to host your TV travel shows instead?
