I used to think that with the rate of cord cutting and with so many people now of days with Internet access, that virtually all OTA subchannels would switch to a dual model of streaming and broadcasting.
Yet even in a day and age where large station owners like Sinclair are kicking off big names like MeTV off their channels for their own subchannels, we see many groups like Nexstar not even attempting streaming or even online episodes like TEGNA.
Are these groups like Nexstar, Weigel, Paramount, Comcast, etc ever going to go with a FAST model like Sinclair? Will they just hope they have more room on ATSC 3.0? Will some just close up shop?
I just find it difficult to believe that continuing a model of strictly OTA & Retransmission will keep Cozi, Antenna TV, Rewind TV, etc afloat.
Why is there such a huge difference in response to the market? Sinclair and somewhat Scripps/Katz seems to be embrace streaming while TEGNA is like "episodes but no live!". Then you have Weigel which is only paid streaming services. Then you have like Nexstar that's "no streaming for us, thank you very much!".
