The digital video streaming industry has been booming in recent years. Leading tech companies like Google, Apple, Amazon, and others have stormed into the market and are actively competing for their share. Despite the major part of the market is “booked”, there is more than enough room for other players. Hence, newcomers are constantly reinforcing competition pressure.

Meanwhile, traditional pay-TV channels are taking a look at this opportunity and also considering the steps on the way to join the digital dimension. The reason is simple: Millennials and Centennials who are the biggest demography in the world as of 2020, prefer this model of TV consumption. Moreover, baby boomers who are the main cable TV subscribers, gradually shift to CTV & OTT too.

At this point, broadcasting channels are developing their applications for streaming services to comply with new market realities. In this way, they can capture cord cutters and cord nevers, and offer their existing audience migration to a digital service. Although the streaming industry is quite sophisticated and involves complicated technologies, it’s attainable for all-sized publishers.

For instance, any regional TV channel, like a regional sports channel, can easily monetize its content with advertising. With the help of ad platforms for publishers like TheViewPoint, there is no need to search for advertisers, and there’s only the need to choose from the list of partners that the platform offers.
