Streaming TV is redefining news coverage. Instead of stale, dated programming, viewers are getting a more timely and customized experience. And the networks are betting on it.
In the years since the birth of streaming, the major news networks have invested hundreds of millions of dollars to create streaming operations. They are repurposing content from broadcast, including reruns, documentaries, and breaking news. Using their streaming resources, they hope to reach a mass audience.
For example, NBC News Now is currently producing about 31 million hours of programming per month. Similarly, POLITICO offers daily coverage of national politics, lobbying, and trade issues.
Another promising area of growth is the emergence of digital humanities. These new research techniques have the potential to provide complex information to a wide range of audiences. Research conducted by the university faculty often goes unnoticed.
As a result, commercial-averse viewers may choose to turn away from TV news altogether. This could open the door for a new overtly political news operation to enter the fray.
The emergence of streaming news is an important cultural shift. It sets light to decades of kindling around linear TV. By giving viewers more options, it reduces the scarcity of media. Streaming allows consumers to customize their experience and access the latest news, anywhere they are.
Streaming has also created an outlet for smaller, more niche audiences. CBS, Fox, and MSNBC have all made substantial investments to stream local news.
Meanwhile, ABC, Newsy, and Cheddar have set up shop in the streaming frontier. But they haven’t yet found a home among streaming’s mass audience.
