Television is dying and it’s our fault

In 2007, Netflix turned its attention to streaming services rather than mail-order DVDs. It was a brilliant business model as it changed the lives of those who frequently miss their favorite TV shows, but it unknowingly changed the course of the television industry. Slowly but surely, Hulu came onto the scene, as did HBO NOW and FOX NOW. However, Netflix was merely just a medium for the majority of the world’s favorite TV shows. - thetacomaledger.com

Dish Network Is Dying a Very Slow Death

As part of this mega-merger deal, Dish would take over Boost Mobile, Sprint's prepaid cellular service and build out a 5G network. Can Dish transform itself into a twenty-first-century telecommunications giant I would argue the foundation is there, but the big question that hangs over the company is what to do with its struggling satellite business. - nationalinterest.org

I Tried to Sign Up for Verizon Fios TV Service. My Experience Proves Why Cable TV is Dying a Quick Death.

She asked me to call Verizon, with her permission granted during the call to speak for her-knowing my years in this field-to see what sort of deal I could get for a bundled service of cable TV, high-speed internet and home phone service. The rep explained a tier of cable channels we could choose from along with HD channels, the same speed of internet along with unlimited phone service with a free DVR. The rate was locked for two years, as it was protected since a two-year agreement was required, at least at the time. - nationalinterest.org

Turn Off the TV: Why Cable and Satellite Companies Like Xfinity, Fios and Dish Network Are Dying

Yes, streaming services, constant price increases, poor customer service and many other factors are killing classic cable TV and dish providers. At the core of this shift in TV viewing habits is the difference in time someone 18-34 years old spends in front of their TV as opposed to someone who is 65 and older. - nationalinterest.org

Proof Cable TV Is Dying: Comcast Lost 732,000 Customers Last Year. Now They Are Raising Prices?

In a sign of just how badly managed one of the biggest telecommunications companies on the planet is, Comcast, who lost nearly three-quarters of a million customers last year, is now planning once again on raising prices. They don't seem to understand the threat presented by cord-cutters who have embraced streaming services as well as cable nevers who have never subscribed to cable TV. Knowing they face a generational shift on how people consume content, Comcast does not care for some reason, and seems hell-bent on trying to maximize profits by soaking the customers it still has. - nationalinterest.org

The Fence, Issue 3, Politics: Off Grid

While the BBC was busy failing to change its structures and work practices with whiteboards, the most complex and unorthodox period of politics in a generation simply blew past the one group of people who were supposed to shine a light on it. The truth of the matter, seen in production meetings and panicked late night broadcasts, is that the BBC currently possesses very little idea of how to present politics at all. - www.the-fence.com

BBC: TV licence decriminalisation consultation opens

Culture Secretary Nicky Morgan is to launch a public consultation on whether failure to pay the TV licence fee should no longer be a criminal offence. There were around 26 million TV licences being used in the UK last year, generating 3.69bn in income for the BBC. If decriminalisation of the TV licence fee were to go through, it would have a considerable impact on BBC funding. - www.bbc.co.uk

Endless reports into where the BBC can make cuts, which have probably cost a small fortune alone, skip merrily over the areas that need real attention such as the monolithic management structure, over-manning in specific areas, transport costs and salaries for talent that help tighten the financial screw week by week.

Tony Hall gave BBC stability but failed to see digital crisis ahead

When Tony Hall was appointed director general in 2013, he was given the task of steadying a BBC that had been seriously rocked by its handling of the Jimmy Savile and Lord McAlpine scandals.

Four big issues the new BBC director general will find in their in-tray

Whoever replaces Tony Hall as director general of the BBC will have to hit the ground running as the corporation braces for another fight with the government over licence fee funding, the still-unfolding scandal over unequal pay and the exodus of young viewers in the Netflix-era of streaming TV. 1. The issue is particularly acute among younger audiences, with the BBC admitting that under-24-year-olds spend more time on Netflix in a week than all of BBC TV, including iPlayer, despite the latter's relative popularity with younger viewers. - www.theguardian.com
