The upcoming launch of video-streaming service Netflix in the region is a reminder that the television-broadcasting industry has changed so much in the last few years, we are not entirely sure whether we can even call it television any more. Or broadcasting.
With the growth of online and on-demand services steadily chipping away at the traditionally scheduled, linear TV service, the TV environment is virtually unrecognizable from that of even 10 years ago.
Gone are the days of eagerly waiting to catch the latest weekly episode of your favorite show the moment it was broadcast. Who needs that level of commitment when you can download an entire season-long box set and binge-watch it over a weekend?
