All Things TV S1 Ep9

In the latest episode of the All Things TV podcast, Jeffrey discusses the significant changes occurring in the television industry, particularly focusing on the five cable TV networks that are most likely to shut down in the second half of 2024. These changes primarily revolve around the rapid rise of streaming platforms and how they're forcing traditional networks to innovate or face extinction. Among the networks in question are Boomerang, who are struggling to compete with the newly launched MeTV Toons; FXX, which might lose its viewership to Hulu; MTV channels that are failing to hold on to their young audience; BET's subsidiaries facing uncertainty, and Freeform, whose content is already predominantly available on Disney+. Jeffrey highlights that these changes depict the evolving pattern of viewing habits and how industry giants are maneuvering to keep up.
