Streaming news has been around for a while now. While it’s no secret that broadcast and cable news has been successful, the advent of streaming is redefining the field.
As the popularity of streaming increases, the major news networks have poured hundreds of millions of dollars into the business. In 2020, CNN, Fox, and MSNBC will net a combined $3 billion in profits.
When streaming first hit the scene, many were skeptical. Those who saw it as a mere pipe dream believed that news consumers would prefer to watch old school linear TV or radio.
For years, broadcast and cable news ruled the roost. But when the advent of streaming hit the scene, the big news was the fact that viewers spent more time watching streamed programming than they did watching TV.
Moreover, streaming allowed for more personalized and efficient news delivery. Unlike cable, streaming allows you to watch news anywhere, anytime. It also makes building a news library cost-effective and convenient.
Streaming is also the logical next step for news networks. After all, a streaming platform can archive and rerun content, allowing them to keep programming current. This is important because the news cycle is long and unpredictable. Streaming helps networks avoid a costly negotiation with cable companies.
Despite its limitations, streaming has given the news industry a much-needed shot in the arm. Not only is it less expensive than traditional broadcast or cable, it also gives networks an opportunity to repurpose programming. Some of these programs include documentaries, reruns, and regular nightly news shows.
