It looks like the cable companies are being pushed to the side infavor of the internet. More and more shows and movies are being shown on the internet. Online viewing increased 155% in just the month of August on tv networks websites. This new concept has many appeals.
1) Watching a show outside of the schedule time allows for convience. The DVR had been the first to institute this, but now online a person may watch the show almost anytime and anwhere
2) Watching movies and shows on the internet costs nothing more than what you are already paying for internet service
Sites such as www.hulu.com offer free clips of both movies and shows only 15 hours after their original air time. There is also considerably less advertising on these shows and movies as opposed to the television ads that make an hour show actually only 35 minutes.
This concept appears to be the new thing due to the cheap and convenience. Only thing that can not be found online is live television programing asside from football sunday nights.
