Internet TV Stations

Internet TV stations are thousands of thousand many more than stations available on your cable TV or your satellite guide. The reason is very simple: many independent producers are choosing the web to put their content and many, many locals TVs from all over the world also get the opportunity to be broadcast worldwide. This is giving a completely different TV market than just a decade ago and amazingly enough, two guys on their garage can actually have exactly the same audience of a major network that spends billions of dollars every year.

This is by far the most beautiful and advanced feature of the Internet and everybody is fully take advantage of it. Being a producer or simply an audience, Internet TV stations are probably split in two. The first group is made of regular TV stations that broadcast or air regular TV shows and decide to grant their content to Internet-based websites. The second group instead is made of TV stations that are specifically designed for the Internet and do not even broadcast on regular TV.

Soon enough they will probably be about the same and the cost of the TV station will be replaced by the concept of websites, where Internet TV stations will offer the content and also at the same time, live and real-time interactions with menu items and all the other things that made the Internet famous and very popular. As the years go by, Internet TV stations will be the benchmark of our more media environment and most likely, all of us will turn to them without even realizing it and in no time, the old way watching TV will be gone forever.
