In an age of torrents and TiVo, does anyone still care what network a TV show is on? It's a question crucial to the agencies, design and animation studios that assist a network in developing and executing its brand identity.

Data is forever. It's a fact that we often gloss over in our "always on" digital world, where we tweet our every move, Facebook all our friends and make ourselves easily locatable just by turning on our mobiles.
