'I think people want something different at the moment. The general feeling is that cooking shows, singing shows and renovation shows have been done to death,' he explained.
'Online is where it’s happening at the moment. That’s where the eyeballs are, especially young eyeballs. TV is at a bit of a crossroads. Most young people I know don’t watch commercial TV.
'It’s a real challenge for the networks.'

James faced this reality himself, with ratings challenges while co-hosting Ten's ill-fated Wake Up, which was cancelled in May 2014, after just 11 months on air.
He fronted the breakfast show alongside Natarsha Belling, Natasha Exelby and Nuala Hafner.
In 2015, James appeared as a contestant in the fourth season of The Celebrity Apprentice Australia.
He started his TV career on Channel V before he took up a role as Australian Idol co-host in 2003.
Before starting Wake Up he appeared regularly as a reporter and panelist on Ten's current affairs show The Project.
James and his wife Carlie welcomed little Luca in December 2012.
