For many decades, television news has been a profitable business. It was a sharable, portable, and relatively inexpensive medium. But a technological breakthrough ushered in a new era.
Online video streaming will likely reshape news coverage. New overtly political news operations and more conventionally partisan news organizations may enter the fray.
A recent study by research firm comScore found that viewers spent more time watching video streamed content than they did watching broadcast TV. This is due in large part to the fact that streaming offers viewers a customized experience.
Streaming makes video news ubiquitous. When viewers are at work, at home, or traveling, they can access their local news or reruns without having to deal with a cable company.
Streaming also lets networks archive content, allowing them to create a library of relevant videos to use when the moment calls for it. Streaming also makes building a news library economical.
Free news streamers are competing for the same market by offering similar features to cable’s. These include local news, current events, and election results. They are also trying to lure cable-quality content to viewers that are not necessarily interested in paying for TV news.
Streaming will likely provide audiences with more choices than they ever had. Unlike cable, online video streaming will not be regulated by a limited number of licenses. In addition, it will be more reliant on viewer demand, rather than a programmers’ clock. Similarly, commercial-averse viewers may opt to bypass TV news altogether.
