It’s a well-known fact that the TV news business has been profitable for decades. However, the advent of streaming video is set to change the way that political news is covered. In fact, there are a number of companies that are poised to take advantage of the opportunity to reach new audiences.
Online video streaming will not be limited by the licenses that television networks receive. This means that more overtly political news operations will be able to get started. They’ll also be able to avoid the costly negotiations that cable companies have to endure in order to deliver their programming to viewers.
A recent survey found that 85 percent of American households subscribe to at least one streaming service. These services allow users to view content anytime, anywhere. Streamers offer a variety of programs, including documentaries, reruns, and news analysis.
The major news networks have invested hundreds of millions of dollars into their streaming operations. Their hopes are high. Some of the companies chasing breaking news include NBC News Now, which churns out 31 million hours of content a month. Another favored source of coverage is POLITICO, which covers national politics.
While these networks aren’t exactly new, they have spent years building their platforms and finding audiences. Their success demonstrates how a savvy strategy can make their news programs more accessible to an audience.
Streaming news has proven to be particularly attractive to niche audiences. It allows for a customized experience for viewers. For instance, a consumer can choose whether to follow trending topics, block topics they don’t like, or express their emotions.
