In the old days, a town crier would bellow news as he walked his village. This was a simple way to get the word out. However, the town crier was limited by time, distance and sources. He couldn’t report the newest news.
Today, a number of major news networks are entering the streaming business. These companies are investing hundreds of millions of dollars in streaming operations. They’re hoping that it will help them attract a larger audience.
One of the benefits of this technology is that viewers can watch their favorite programs on the go. It allows for more timely delivery of news and information, and the ability to archive content for later viewing.
Historically, broadcast news has been a profitable business. But it has come under scrutiny in recent years, thanks to a variety of factors. Cable news, for example, has one-upped broadcast news with live events.
Streaming news has also helped news networks attract niche audiences. Fox News Channel, for example, has attracted 1.5 million subscribers to its Fox Nation streaming app.
Another company, NewsBreak, has emerged as the most popular local news app. Besides providing local news, NewsBreak lets users express themselves, block topics, and follow trends.
The same can be said about POLITICO, which covers national politics, lobbying, advocacy, and trade issues. SciTechDaily, which provides space and astronomy news, is another example.
Aside from the aforementioned “middle of the road” options, there are new overtly political news operations, such as One America News and Fox News Channel.
