Television news has long been a profitable business. However, the proliferation of new choices created an audience that grew polarized. It was only a matter of time before a new type of overtly political news operation entered the fray.
Online video streaming may change the face of political news coverage. By bringing video coverage to consumers on demand, online video streaming is set to disrupt and reshape the way news is reported.
Streaming networks have positioned themselves to take advantage of the growing streaming audience. These networks have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the streaming business. They offer documentaries, reruns, and nightly news programming.
Unlike cable television, online video streaming isn’t bound by expensive negotiations with cable companies. It also offers flexibility and customization. This is particularly useful for a news operation that wants to tailor its coverage to a particular audience.
Some free news streamers are promoting cable quality news. The emergence of such services has prompted major news networks to enter the streaming business. ABC News, CBS News, and NBC News have all partnered with streaming operators to repurpose their broadcast programming.
The news networks see a strong, albeit limited, opportunity to serve a streaming audience. But, they want to avoid over-hyping streaming. They also want to ensure that their coverage is based on a solid business model.
The streamers are hoping to earn a piece of the $3 billion profit that the major news networks make each year. That money comes from the yearly subscription fees of viewers.
