In the face of decreasing television audiences, cable news channels and broadcast networks are facing tough times. In 2015, 76 percent of American households watched cable news, and that number is projected to fall to 56 percent by 2021. Fox News Channel is expected to lose $20 million in subscriber fees next year, and more than eighty percent of American households subscribe to a streaming service. Streaming news is becoming a viable alternative to traditional television, and the news industry is taking notice.
In the past, the town crier would walk around a village, bellowing out news, and allowing people to keep up with events in their communities. This was a convenient and timely method, but its limitations were limited by distance and sources. The next step was the newssheet, which was portable and reusable, and it could be stored for future reference. In the present, print news services were limited to reporting news from yesterday, while television and radio could report on current events. However, cable TV surpassed both of these methods by reporting on current events live.
With the advent of streaming, building news libraries is no longer an expensive process. Instead, networks can archive news content, making it available for viewing anytime and anywhere. Streaming video news will eventually become ubiquitous.
