Online video streaming could reshape the way political news is covered. One America News, Fox, and CNN could be among the companies that jump into the online streaming market.
Streaming allows viewers to customize their experience. They can choose from a variety of programming, including live events and documentaries. Some networks also offer reruns.
In fact, the major news networks have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in their streaming operations. As a result, they have high hopes for streaming. But they are trying to avoid over-hyping the service. This is important, because viewers spend more time watching streamed programs than they do broadcast TV.
For many years, broadcast and cable news have been profitable business. The problem is, consumers are frustrated with their choices. That creates a kindling effect for new players to enter the game.
Fortunately, streaming has been able to attract a niche audience. These audiences are interested in current events, local news, and trending topics.
Unlike cable, streaming allows viewers to access the content whenever they want. This makes building a library of news more economical.
In addition to streaming, the Internet is also making it possible for viewers to watch on-demand videos. Several of these new services are free. However, their marketing tactics are similar to cable’s.
For instance, Newsy is planting a flag in the streaming frontier. Their free news streamer promotes cable-quality news.
