Traditional TV providers struggle to remain relevant to the adults of the future. Research from Parks Associates, organizer of the conference, shows that young adults (“millennials”) have grown up with streaming video and don’t have the same relationship to traditional TV. Almost a quarter of millennials (23%) have no pay TV services. Consider that in 2020 one in three adults will be a millennial. While they may watch video on phones, tablets, and laptops, eschewing big screen TVs, it’s likely that their choice of device will change as they start families in the future. What won’t change is their view on how they receive TV. Increasingly, they don’t relate to the ABC, NBC, CBS model of linear TV. Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon are becoming their broadcast networks.
