Streaming news has already been proven to attract mass audiences. In fact, the average household subscribes to at least one streaming service. These services offer reruns, documentaries, and news analysis.

Fox has attracted 1.5 million subscribers to its Fox Nation streaming app. Its subscribers pay $20 a year for access.
Unlike cable, a viewer can view the video anytime, anywhere. In fact, viewers spent more time watching streaming programming than broadcast television.
