Streaming news has proved a successful attraction to mass audiences. The major streaming networks repurpose programming from cable, chase breaking news, and schedule regular nightly news programs. They offer news analysis and documentaries. The major networks have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in streaming operations.
A key advantage of streaming news is the ability to deliver news on demand. This reduces the scarcity of news and allows viewers to customize their experience. It also allows networks to archive content, which makes building news libraries economical.
The streaming news market has also proven to attract niche audiences. Fox News Channel has attracted 1.5 million subscribers for its Fox Nation streaming app. The network has also picked up local coverage of the Sacramento shooting and the Pittsburgh bridge collapse.
The news networks’ interest in streaming news is rooted in their recognition of the technological advantages of serving a streaming audience. Streaming could allow news networks to achieve siloing results like cable, but without the limitations of limited TV licenses.
Streaming news also has the potential to reshape political news coverage. It is likely that new overtly political news operations will be drawn to the platform.
The streaming news business has benefited from the convergence of long-term cultural trends. The proliferation of digital technology has made news available anytime, anywhere. This has created a low barrier to entry. It has also encouraged new players to enter.
As streaming news has proven to be a successful business, the major news networks have high hopes for it. They plan to provide 45,000 hours of local news in 2022. CBS News has also taken an aggressive approach to local news by nichifying its coverage.
