Several witnesses called to testify at the Tuesday Senate hearing spoke about how the Ticketmaster-Live Nation merger affects small to mid-level artists.
Streaming news has come of age. Major networks are investing hundreds of millions of dollars in their streaming operations. They are hoping to reshape the way news is reported.
The new models will offer consumers the option of accessing their news wherever they want. Streaming will also allow networks to archive content. This could help reduce the scarcity of media options. In addition, viewers will have the opportunity to choose the type of news they receive.
For decades, television news was delivered on cable. This was a profitable business. Viewers could watch as much of the day’s news as they wanted. But it was also linear, with programmers’ clocks that required viewers to match their schedule.
When TV news arrived on the internet, it looked and felt like conventional television. But it was on demand, allowing a viewer to customize his or her news experience.
Streaming is an ideal way to deliver news in real time, and it helps reduce the scarcity of media resources. It offers the news you need, when you need it.
A variety of free streamers are competing for a share of the market. They are doing their best to advertise their cable-quality news. These companies are essentially saying that viewers can cut their cable subscription and get cable-quality news for free.
Several news-streaming companies are repurposing programming already available to the broadcast audience. Some, such as POLITICO, cover national politics, and others, such as Newsmax, provide local news.
