Understanding new video formats: multichannel networks, Web series, eSports

Connected entertainment is creating a whole new world for Internet video. Initially a web-based medium to share individually recorded and animated videos, Internet video has expanded beyond early viral sensations to include professionally produced premium content available on the Internet through a variety of apps and platforms. Additionally, Internet video consumption is no longer limited to websites accessed through a PC browser -- increasing adoption of connected devices has prompted the development and release of video apps for mobile devices, streaming media devices, game consoles and smart TVs.

Parks Associates estimates North America will have over 200 million online video viewers by the end of 2016. Consumers aged 18-24 watch the highest volume of Internet video on mobile devices, averaging 5.5 hours per week on smartphones and 6 hours per week on tablets, compared to fewer than 5 hours per week for every other age group.

New forms of video have emerged to meet this growing demand, including multichannel networks, web series and eSports, establishing audiences with recurring viewership, much like traditional television and video.
