Streaming news has revolutionized news delivery. It offers viewers a personalized experience, is available wherever they are, and arrives on their demand. And it makes building news libraries more economical.
News networks began to sense the momentum of a streaming audience, and they invested hundreds of millions of dollars in their streaming operations. They scheduled regular nightly news programs, offered documentaries, and repurposed programming from broadcast.
They also created an aggressive local news streaming strategy. CBS News, for example, plans to stream 45,000 hours of local news in 2022. And Fox has attracted 1.5 million subscribers to its Fox Nation streaming app.
Streaming news has also helped to attract niche audiences. Streaming is particularly beneficial to those who want to follow specific topics. For example, when the Pittsburgh bridge collapsed, the local CBS affiliate pounded coverage to streamers.
Online newspapers, on the other hand, are typically objective. They are independent, provide comprehensive news, and are unbiased. They are usually followed by millions of people around the world.
But as streaming news has grown in popularity, some consumers have become frustrated with the quality of content and high costs. In response, some free news streamers have emerged. Their aim is to lure cable-quality news to viewers who are unwilling or unable to pay for it.
Free news streamers resemble cable in their approach, and they are hoping to get a share of the billions of dollars that cable news networks will make in streaming profits. In the end, commercial-averse viewers might just decide to switch channels.
