The Changing Face of Television: YouTube, Streaming and Beyond
Watching television used to be a fairly simple enterprise—you turned on the set, selected one of 500 channels, and enjoyed your program. Now, television is changing in front of our eyes. More and more viewers are cancelling cable television, preferring to watch new online-only channels like Netflix or Disney +. An entire generation of younger viewers has given up on the TV set altogether, and instead watch programs on their laptop or their phones. This presentation will look at these startling developments and explain why the old days of simply “watching TV” are fast disappearing. Presented by Brian Rose via Zoom.
