TV channels struggle with imminent death

(MENAFN) The concept of a TV network will be rendered obsolete as the entertainment landscape essentially shifts, as the aggregation platforms become the key driver of eyeballs.

Experts believe that Netflix will become the starting point for every session of TV watching, thus TV firms will have to figure out a new way for the idea of a channel to add value to their shows.

Basically, instead of being a destination you go to, successful channels will have a more concrete identity that allows them to thrive in an aggregation world, as described by the analysts.

Furthermore, Netflix is an international provider of streaming movies and TV series, has more than 75mn subscribers as of 2016, and it produces hundreds of hours of original programming.
