When Ted Turner started the Cable News Network in 1980, he could never have imagined that it would become the world’s largest news operation. He had little previous experience in the industry, but his entrepreneurial spirit and vision set in motion a chain of events that would transform how we view the world.
For decades, TV news has lived on cable. But the technology that allowed viewers to watch news from wherever they are has also created a new frontier in the streaming space.
Streaming has already shown that it can attract a mass audience, but that doesn’t mean it’s all good. In fact, many believe it has the potential to create silos.
As a result, major news networks are investing hundreds of millions of dollars in streaming operations. They hope to reach the audience who is willing to pay for content. Streaming also lets them archive and repurpose content, which allows them to offer new programming to audiences.
Unlike traditional broadcast and cable news, streaming isn’t subject to the constraints of limited licenses. This means it can deliver on-demand content, which is an appealing feature for commercial-averse viewers. The streaming service also enables viewers to customize their experience, as opposed to waiting for a network to turn on.
During the last decade, the major streaming networks have made their presence known. CBS, CNN, and NBC are among the companies who have entered the streaming market. Each has launched news programs, documentaries, and analysis.
