CEO John Martin talks about selling his channels directly to his viewers, tangling with Vice and standing up to Donald Trump.
The cracks continue to form in the traditional cable TV model. And this from one of the previously most cable provider-loyal companies.
In January, the Federal Communications Commission unveiled an ambitious proposal that would free consumers from their annoying, clunky and expensive set-top boxes. The FCC has since revised their proposal at the behest of cable companies, but the core principal, that cable companies should make it so third party devices can provide its content, remains the same.
Because of course they did. Still an improvement but it would be nice to break up cable companies’ monopolistic control wherever possible.
Online streaming platforms like YouTube and Hulu have a method to keep viewers interested throughout commercial breaks: countdown clocks. Now, traditional TV broadcasting companies are getting in on the action.
If the ad breaks are short enough (or the clock appears late enough in the break) this could encourage people to stick around, rather than the inverse.
Disney likes sportz and they don't care who knows.
Drip, drip. Cable mainstays see the writing on the wall.
Hulu Ends Free Streaming Service Hulu is moving to an all-subscription model, eliminating the ad-supported service that has let users watch thousands of TV episodes in the nine years since it first launched. - Todd Spangler, Variety http://ift.tt/188j1lX
Does handing it over to Yahoo mean you just want it to die a slow, painful death?
The National Football League is building a team for its channel on Snapchat Discover, the mobile storytelling app’s network of media publishers.
Perhaps I’m revealing too much of my bias against vertical video, but watching sports in portrait mode just seems like an extremely unpleasant user experience IMO.
Google is getting deeper into the tech side of the video and broadcasting business. The company today announced that it has acquired Anvato, a platform for..
Saying “I don’t own a TV” is a good way to let people know that you’re a pretentious asshole. But even though more and more people are eager to tell you they don’t “have TV,” don’t be fooled! You better believe that they are still “watching TV.”
Lying liars and the lies they tell.
It's not all just Chewbacca masks.
I’d argue this is realizing some of the promise of the internet from two decades ago.
The Apple TV is already a capable media streamer, but it's a few steps shy of a revolution.
I don’t see the issue with individual apps so long as better efforts at aggregating the content within are made. Content companies want to control their own brand, their own experience, and, of course, their own ads. Can you blame them?
Google has ceased direct sales of its Nexus Player set-top box. The hockey puck-shaped device, manufactured by Asus, has been unavailable from major third-party retailers like Best Buy for months....
Not incredibly surprising as Google seems to be allowing 3rd party manufacturers pick up the slack in this space.
Today's announcement of Google Home is likely to be the most exciting "living room" news that comes out of the company's annual developers conference, but that doesn't mean TV has been completely...
“It's still too early to say whether this is a good approach or just Google covering its TV bases.”
Starting next year, Hulu won't just be the place you go to watch day-old TV shows — it'll also be the place you go to see them airing live. Hulu announced this morning that it's going to begin...
Ch-ch-ch-changes (in the television landscape). This also brings to mind Time Warner’s (the entertainment conglomerate, not the cable company) ploy to buy a stake in Hulu to effectively kill it earlier this year. And what about Comcast’s stake through NBC Uni? So many questions!
Another day, another streaming media service.
The more the merrier. Imagine a future where cable providers become the dumb pipes they’re meant to be and you choose your TV provider from a slate of competing services.
Speaking in a press conference yesterday, Federal Communications Commission chairman Tom Wheeler praised Comcast for its decision to partly unbundle its pay-TV service from its proprietary set-top...
Comcast came around to moving away from set-top boxes the way a toddler comes around to eating her veggies.
Snapchat may have started out as the ephemeral messaging and photo-sharing app, but a majority of users now consume video there too, according to a report..
As as staunch opponent of vertical video, I find this deeply dismaying.
Everyone's getting into VR these days—but not Netflix, at least for now. In the company's first-quarter earnings ca
“I think the center point for VR will be other sorts of things than watching a TV show in a VR headset. I don't think that will be very popular.”
