The availability of a regional television station on a live streaming platform provides viewers with access to local programming, including news, sports, and entertainment, through an internet-based subscription service. This access allows individuals to watch content on a variety of devices, such as televisions, computers, and mobile devices, without requiring a traditional cable or satellite subscription.
The integration of local broadcast channels into over-the-top (OTT) platforms offers several advantages. It expands the reach of local stations beyond their traditional broadcast area, potentially increasing viewership and advertising revenue. It also caters to the growing number of consumers who are opting for streaming services over traditional pay-TV options. Historically, access to local content was primarily limited to geographic proximity to the broadcast signal.
