Rise of streaming widens gaps between show seasons Delays in TV show releases on streaming platforms are linked to the ambition for cinematic quality and the integration of film industry practices. This has led to longer production times and delayed renewals, impacting viewer retention. However, there is a movement towards more traditional TV production schedules, with shows like "The Pitt" aiming for annual releases to build consistent audience engagement.  https://lnkd.in/gGnRvnJA

If streaming services and Youtube deliver, why watch TV

This is a fascinating look at how streaming TV is beginning to mirror traditional (aka linear and ad supported) TV. "Traditional TV isn't dying, we're watching it in our millions The success of primetime TV shows like Gladiators, The Traitors, and Mr Bates prove that streaming hasn't won the war with traditional linear TV yet" --- Something strange is happening with old-fashioned linear TV: we’re watching it in our droves. Six million Brits tuned into BBC One to watch the first episodes of Gladiators, the physically-demanding show where athletes dangle from the ceiling and you, at home — regardless of your physical ability — think: "Yeah, I could do that." Some 5.5 million people – with a peak of 6.9 million viewers – watched the final dramatic moments of The Traitors (poor Mollie), with pubs across the country airing viewing parties; one gay bar selling fizzy pink rosé in honour of our favourite contestant, Diane. But it’s not just lycra and fizzy rosé drawing people to live television: it is also happening with drama too. Around 3.5 million people tuned into each episode of Mr Bates vs The Post Office on ITV1, even though all episodes were available to watch on their own streaming service ITVX. I know what you’re thinking: this is ITVX we’re talking about. But surely swerving the service wasn’t the reason for every single viewer. https://lnkd.in/ePAfYybU #FAST #TV #Streaming #Gladiators

Is the Future "Mid?" A thought-provoking article from The New York Times explores the concept of "midia," which is derivative content dominating streaming services. As algorithms dictate viewing habits, user feeds become predictable, potentially mirroring and filling streaming services with unoriginal content. Will these platforms become victims of their own success, offering repetitive content that users eventually tune out? #advertising #marketing #streaming

Last month I promised some bonus content for my Substack newsletter, and here I am delivering on that promise. The topic might seem random for those who don't know me well enough, but those who do will confirm I'm a sucker for great stories and I find many of them on streaming services. Without further ado, here's my selection of best TV series about multiverse. Happy long weekend to my American friends and...happy binge-watching 🍿 #substack #substacknewsletter #tvseries #multiverse #bingewatching

Dr. Fadia Nordtveit, Professor of Communications, encourages us to be more mindful of how inclusive streaming platforms are (think Netflix, Hulu, Max, Apple+, etc). She suggests we consider reflecting on what stories are being shared, who is playing the lead role, who is producing the film, etc. We loved our conversation with her this week on Inclusive Collective podcast.

When I first saw #streamingmedia starting to become mainstream, I thought that there would be so much content coming online that it would become a burden for consumers to find what they want to watch. I also thought that whoever could come up with an effective "guide" would have an advantage in the market. It looks like we are now at the time where the cognitive burden for streaming viewers is indeed an issue yet the industry doesn't seem to have come up with an answer. https://lnkd.in/g2Bneqr4
