TV Stations Lack Internet Vision
from the no-surprise-there dept
A new study of TV stations and their internet operations turns up results that shouldn't surprise anyone. It appears that most television stations lack any sort of internet vision, and just see their web operations as a marketing site, rather than a business opportunity. Some TV stations are making money from their web operations, but it's apparently few and far between. Meanwhile, newspaper sites have embraced the internet. It's pretty easy to see why, of course - since text transfers much more intuitively from newspapers to the web. Still, I imagine that, over time, TV stations will realize there's a benefit in offering integrated content, and will slowly move in that direction.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
