Streaming service for kids – Next generation of television for children
The Future of kids TV channels
It is almost certainly that habits of younger generations have been changing drastically. The way children are watching TV nowadays and the way that their parents did are completely different. In the past, their parents would have to follow the airing schedule, and sit themselves in front of the TV if they wanted to watch a cartoon before bedtime. The number of TV content made for children was also quite limited, if existent at all, and few people were lucky enough to have access to more than 1 or 2 channels that broadcasted cartoons daily.
Today, the world of broadcast entertainment is different. Today’s generation lives in an era of content hyperproduction and technological change that brings a new way of accessing content. Kid’s content market is a very competitive field of today’s entertainment industry, and so the market is pushing new product developers into searching for a more innovative approach. In addition, new technologies bring new features, such as:
– Non-linear viewing
– SVOD
– Multi device TV consumption
– Offline watching…
And all these changes imply the necessity of adapting marketing strategies. Today’s trends require launching streaming services instead of traditional broadcasting.
Great content alone will not succeed
Kids nowadays are more demanding in terms of how they want to consume their content and what content they want to have and what they want to see on their screens. Improvements in kidtech are a requirement from content providers for implementation of digital alternatives. According to the Ofcom report in 2020, nearly all children aged 5-15 have and know how to access and use the internet. Laptops, tablets and mobile phones were the most used devices for internet browsing, used by seven out of ten of these children. Since the introduction of internet and technical accessories such as laptops, tablets and smartphones has surge, the need for an environment that respects the above becomes a key direction in the development processes and strategy of all who work in the market of video services for children.
