The future of TV, broadcasting and media
This thread is for posts about what is being reported on the future of TV, broadcasting and the media by experts and commentators in the know.
I found this item, which I thought I would share with you. The particular points that interested me about developments for 2019 and beyond were:
1. Many more streaming services will be launched in 2019.
2. A question mark remains over whether Disney will partner with pay tv providers and bundle Disney+ into their offers.
3. 5G will impact the media industry and will pose both an opportunity and a threat for IPTV, cable and satellite providsrs, in ways not yet foreseen, particularly post 2019. However, one thing we do know is that video quality will improve with 5G.
4. There is an acknowledgement that there is only room for a limited number of SVOD services.
5. There will be a mix of ad-supported and subscription streaming models.
6. AI will see continued advancement and deployments, with near real time sub-titling benefiting from this. It will also become a key tool in identifying content.
7. Cloud technology will be used in ever more creative ways to engage viewers for longer.
8. Super-aggregation of OTT apps and SVOD services will result from increasing fragmentation of content. A number of pay tv providers (and this includes Liberty Global, by the way) see themselves as super-aggregators (which I believe means that we should be getting Prime very soon).
It's an interesting read and some will find other interesting points to bring out of this.

Not my words, Raider. I am merely drawing your attention to an article.
What exactly is rattling your cage?

Re: The future of TV, broadcasting and media
If we're all.going to be streaming everything all the time, several streams a house, I can forsee some technical difficulties.... Broadcast TV and recordings are far more reliable and will be for some time.

Nothing like a post full of reality rather then one full of fantasy predictions which never come true..

That's right, Max. I'm not sure where Raider sees contradictions. Perhaps we could help him with that if he could tell us what they were.
Of course, he's not the only one on these forums who likes to discredit predictions such as these without giving any logical explanation for their views. I think they just want things to stay the same - some see safety in that. However, change is going on all the time and it is difficult for me to understand why this just seems to pass some people by.
I think the future for developments in this area is very exciting, and I would have thought that contributors to this forum, who clearly have an interest in media issues, would have been of like mind. Seems that isn't the case.

Re: The future of TV, broadcasting and media
Disney's Kevin Mayer is suggesting that Disney + will be the exclusive home of all Disney content when it is fully established. That appears to answer the question posed about whether Disney would still grant access to their programmes on channels such as Sky.
Interesting also that he is setting his sights on providing a sports option to add to its general entertainment and children's options on its site. No doubt, Disney will be learning from the experience of Eleven Sports in the UK. I see battles with Sky Television looming large here.

Don't hide behind your petticoat OB as it does you a disservice as no one is discrediting your opinions but is merely pointing out that thus so far many of your predictions for Linear TV and doomsayer forebodings for it are not working out as you predicted.

Are you talking about those predictions for 2035, Den? The assertion you make that they are not turning out to be true makes no sense. Please explain.
By the way, it's only 2018 where I live!

Den, you cannot deny that peoples viewing habits have changed, and will continue to change in the future, things move on, it's called progress, to be fair to OB, he is merely pointing out and supplying links to what the industry experts are telling us, the evidence is there, if you wish to deny it then thats up to you, but things are changing and I for one welcome it.

Re: The future of TV, broadcasting and media
This appears to herald the beginning of the end for satellite tv. So although Sky describe their new internet strategy as 'complementing' their existing satellite service, the internet service will ultimately take over.

Re: The future of TV, broadcasting and media
I'm sure if It wasn't for regulatory issues Comcast would love to purchase VM.

Indeed MM but as you have put very succinctly it ain't going to happen.

That’s fine in the U.K., which is geographically compact, but a very large part of the USA (especially mid-West rural areas) it is not economically feasible to lay cable for hundreds, if not thousands, of miles to reach the outlying areas.
