Streaming news is a bit of a hot button topic right now. Newscasters have a good feeling about the new medium, and they have high hopes for its potential. It is not surprising, then, that free news streamers are trying to get their slice of the pie.
Streaming news has proven to attract a mass audience. It allows viewers to customize their experience and allows networks to archive their content. It also allows viewers to watch news wherever they happen to be.
The new medium may also have the power to reshape the way political news is covered. A number of new overtly political news operations are expected to come to fruition.
The free news streamer aficionados would likely be happy to learn that the Fox News Channel is launching its own news streaming service, One America News. Its app has attracted 1.5 million subscribers.
The free news streamer may be attempting to tell viewers that they can save money by cutting their cable subscription. However, that may be a little over-the-top.
For now, the biggest advantage of streaming is that it enables news delivery in real time. It also reduces the scarcity factor in the media equation. In addition, it reduces the need to invest in building a news library.
There are several streaming networks, and each schedules regular nightly news programs. In addition, they have a range of documentaries, news analysis, and reruns to satisfy viewers’ needs.
The free news streamer also may be attempting to tell viewers that they don’t need cable. This could lead to siloing, similar to that of cable.
