“We put up one heck of a fight,” said Republican challenger Herschel Walker, acknowledging defeat at his election night party on Tuesday after Sen. Raphael Warnock’s projected win in Georgia.
Streaming TV has been around for ten years, but there are some key players in the space. These networks have repurposed their broadcast programming to cater to streaming viewers. They offer daily news programs and documentaries that are delivered on a streaming platform.
Streaming also allows the news networks to archive their content, allowing viewers to watch it anytime, anywhere. This makes building a news library economically viable. The cost of negotiations with cable companies is also eliminated. This means that online video streaming is likely to change how political news is covered.
One of the major streaming networks is NBC News. It produces ten hours of programming each day. The channel has a younger audience than cable news, with a majority under the age of 45.
Another major streaming network is Bloomberg. It has planted the flag in the streaming frontier with its own news app. Streaming isn’t the first time a major news network has launched a service, but it may be the first time it’s done it right.
Other major players include CBS News and Fox. Both are aggressively pursuing local streaming news strategies. CBS is planning to beam 45,000 hours of local news in 2022. Fox has also built up a 1.5 million subscriber base for its Fox Nation streaming app.
Another notable streaming service is Al Jazeera. This is because it is one of the only major news networks to have a dedicated streaming channel.
