My Cart - Once upon a time the television was a cabinet in the corner of the room that a family would sit around at the same time every week to watch the same show. Over the years this provider-driven television society has been flipped on its head, and the world of TV is now completely consumer-driven.
The original days of broadcasters and operators choosing what programmes their channel will show have long gone with the development of cable and satellite, and now internet TV. Cable TV saw the small number of channels rocket into the hundreds and internet TV has changed the game even more.
Internet TV and the use of digital recording devices (that are even built into some TVs these days) have allowed the viewer to be in total control of the playlist. With smart TVs and popular streaming sites such as Netflix we are slowly becoming a nation of binge watchers! Watching whatever we want at a time that suits us best.
Television programmes have also changed the way they are aired. The weekly wait between episodes has almost become a thing of the past with cult programmes now releasing entire series at once, such as Orange is the New Black and Arrested Development. These subscription-based websites offer advert-free viewing; however the majority of TV revenue is made from adverts on during the breaks.
More advantages of internet-driven TV is the fact that you can catch up on the go on many portable devices, so you can catch up with Breaking Bad on the bus or House of Cards on the way home. The integration of social media and other online streaming sites such as YouTube have also enhanced viewing for the consumer, making the television that little bit more important to the household.
