Statistics show that young people spend less time on the Television and more on the internet today. Well, not just young people but adults too. This has been buoyed by the number of internet enabled devices in the environment today. As 'common' as cell phones are, most of them are internet enabled and very affordable. There is hardly any young person in any part of the world who cannot maneuver their way through on the internet. There are no mincing words; the internet is the future of TV.
Several years ago some spouses would complain their partners loved the TV more than the family; 'He rather spends all his time glued to the TV than with me and the kids', they would whine. Well, that looks like it has stopped of course but a new one has been birthed; 'He pays more attention to his laptop or mobile phone than to me'. It appears you won the battle against the TV but someone or rather something else has beaten you to him again!
Not all programs are produced within the shores of a TV station. The production of a program might require a different location especially if there are unique 'touches' to it. For instance, if the program is "FISH WATCH" then the shooting and location would be around the habitat of the fishes. The location crew is usually responsible for 'locating' the suitable location and making necessary arrangements for its use. For some this would include accommodation, feeding, transport and general welfare of all those 'on location'.
The Big question today is; why do you want to watch TV? Is it for the news or movies or is it sports or music? The TV stations being aware of how lesser and lesser their audience is getting now have also created strong online presence for themselves. The goal is to remain the favourite for the viewers by following them to where their passion currently is. Most of these stations have online TVs where most of their programs can be viewed over and over.
One of the advantages the internet gives the user that the TV would not is control. Back then if anyone missed a program for any reason then that's it. They may never have the chance to see it again except the stations repeated it but with the internet, it is different. The internet user has control; he can view the contents over and over and can even download them on his device storing them for as long as he desires; exactly what most people prefer.
Every member of the production crew pays attention to their specific roles knowing that any failure on their part will ultimately tell in the final work. Just like every successful team, no member is to be preferred to the other; whilst some duties are more technical than others, they are all very essential. So the next time you see any program on your TV screen, look beyond the presenter smiling at you, picture with your mind's eyes the numerous team members making it happen.
