I reported in class in a presentation
titled current events. About a FOX network show being cancelled, and Hulu
picking it up.
This is something that really stood out
to me when it came to current events and distribution. This is a growing trend
and considering I’m a fan of The Mindy Project I was really excited to see the show get picked up
for another 26 more seasons.
I believe this is a sign of things to
come, considering over the years many family and homes have been switching from
regular cable network and satellite to online streaming such as Netflix and
Hulu.
According to Forbes magazine, “Young
adults are more likely to have zero TV.” This study is from observing Nielsen
boxes around the nation. It leave us wondering what’s the reason for this
sudden switch.
It has a lot to do with the variety and
accessibility of shows that fans want to see. Not to mention the cheap price of
access, for the online streaming.
When it comes to Variety Netflix and Hulu hold
hundreds of movies in their data banks ready for streaming on the drop of a
dime. This is the same for Hulu, with their selection of classic movies and
shows, independent as well as most recent, it feeds an audience in all matter
of streaming.
As far as accessibility, you are able to
get Netflix and Hulu on smart televisions, tablets, smartphones as well as
gaming consoles. There isn’t a reason to not have it.
Some might say this is hurting the networks on
a bigger scale then seen. As far as the Huffington Post stated, “Yes, Netflix
and Hulu are starting to kill cable.” It is shown that cable companies are
actually disconnecting lines, and taking down satellites because of the decline
in customers. I personally think this isn’t the end of cable but it is
defiantly giving them something to think about when it comes to their cable
prices and packages.
I personally am glad that there are
options for people like me who want to view movies as my career and part of who
I am. I love movies and love the way we are able to view what we want.
