Will
Traditional TV Ever Be Replaced by Streaming?
For
a long time, people had to listen to the radio to get news, drama, and music at
home. This all changed with the development of the television in the early 20th
century.Since then, British
TV viewers have enjoyed the launch of commercial TV, the addition of Channel 4,
and then Channel 5, and finally the birth of paid services through satellite
and cable.
A
Slow Decline
While
the uptake of TV ownership exploded, the decline of television's dominance has
been slow and has been going on for the past decade. Streaming services have given us
access to more content than was ever possible, including back catalogues of
classic shows and blockbuster movies.
Changing
Viewing Habits
In
the UK, adults are spending more time watching content on YouTube and streaming
services than ever before. In 2018, these figures were 30 minutes and 26
minutes per day respectively.
Still
the King
For
example, in 2018 UK adults continued to watch BBC One for an average of 41
minutes per day, more than any streaming service.
Average
viewing time for all traditional TV channels continues to decline though,
despite much larger quantities of original content being produced by these
organisations.
While
the traditional TV networks have seen a decline, the television set itself
doesn't look like it's going anywhere any time soon.
A. This has been the trend
for the last couple of decades.
B. The original content has
included massively popular shows.
C. Suddenly, we were able to
see what was going on, not just listen along.
D. The traditional TV
channels are taking away audiences from streaming services.
E. Most major TV channels
have their own catch up streaming service.
F. While demand for streaming
services is up, TV continues to be the most watched overall.
G. Today, we have the power
to watch whatever, whenever, wherever we want.
