Streaming news has come a long way since the early days of cable TV. Today, streaming news is ubiquitous and has earned the attention of mass audiences.
Unlike conventional television, which delivers a set program based on time and distance, streaming lets viewers choose what they want to see. For example, if you have a busy day ahead, you can watch your favorite shows on your computer without having to worry about missing something important.
Several major news networks have been around for a decade or more. They take advantage of the technology to bring you the news you want, when you want it. In addition to providing real-time news, they offer documentaries, reruns, and news analysis.
While the industry has yet to catch up, there are signs that online video streaming will change the way we receive news coverage. It isn’t bound by a strict set of rules or licensing agreements, meaning it can operate in ways that broadcast or cable TV can’t. Streaming also enables the repurposing of cable programming.
The most popular form of streaming is probably YouTube. But that doesn’t mean streaming is the only way to view a video. Some companies are creating their own apps to keep people informed.
One of the most successful of these free news streamers is NewsBreak. Their app lets you block certain topics, track trending topics, and share your thoughts on current events.
Another app is CNN+, which has been around for a year. It’s an all-in-one news site that offers live streams of news, plus four-and-a-half-minute ad blocks. Although it may seem like an expensive add-on to cable, it has already attracted 1.5 million subscribers.
