Internet shows will be soon coming to your TV. But first these IpTV providers will need to overcome to factors, Quality and Content. The majority of people who receive traditional broadcast TV and channel are not going to get on board just because companies are making it easier for you to choose online content. These same people aren't going to sit down on the couch and watch the TV if they don't like the content or if the content is of poor quality. If I did have a thousand dollars to spend on a HDTV I wouldn't use it to watch someones crappy video made from someones phone. IPTV and on-demand video won't change channel surfing behavior for some time. TV is changing and will continue to change, because the Internet (You Tube, Google Video, and Yahoo Video). We won't see a massive change for another 10 years.
IPTV can bring in various forms of content to the television (broadcast TV, online video, gaming, IM, VoIP) because they all share the same transport medium. IPTV has the capibility to mix, match, and combine the services and provide the user content that they prefer.
Joost has just signed a contract Viacom to provide the content (not exactly the best shows yet) and promises to start providing content soon.
This should provide new opportunities to host/direct shows for local companies. The cable companies would see a growth and need people knowledgable of networking. Knowing networking and understanding the OSI Model and TCP/IP Addressing would be good skill to have.
