For decades, the television news industry has existed on the airwaves. The broadcast news business has been profitable and lucrative. Streaming has a clear advantage over broadcast. It allows viewers to watch anytime, anywhere.
Streaming news has the potential to reshape political news coverage. New, overtly political news operations will likely enter the streaming market. In the meantime, the proliferation of new choices could feed polarization.
A growing number of free news streamers are trying to attract cable-style, quality news. They promote their streaming services as an alternative to the pricey cable subscriptions. While many consumers would prefer not to pay for television, some may not mind paying for a service that offers cable-quality news.
Streaming also allows for more diverse and timely delivery of news. Unlike cable TV, where you have to wait for the news to come on and be able to tune in to the channel, streaming can allow you to tune in whenever you want to.
Streaming has proven to attract a wide range of audiences. One of the best-known examples is NewsBreak. This app offers local news and trending topics. Users can express emotions and opinions about the news. They can also block certain topics or follow a list of trending news.
Another example is CBS News. As part of its aggressive local streaming news strategy, CBS plans to deliver 45,000 hours of local news in 2022.
While the major news networks have high hopes for streaming, they’re taking cautious steps. They’ve spent hundreds of millions of dollars in streaming operations, but avoid over-hyping the technology.
