FAST – towards a new form of content distribution

Abstrakt

The streaming industry is coming full circle. Compared to its early days focused primarily on access to content via subscription, ad-supported and scheduled content is now becoming more common. This is related to phenomena that are becoming more and more noticeable on the media market: the so-called subscription fatigue, as well as the so-called the great unsubscribe, as well as cord-cutting, which is causing many streaming service providers to see their subscriber numbers decline. Streaming audiences have turned to looking for alternative programming options, such as FAST (free-ad supported-streaming TV). The development of this sector does not currently revolutionize the streaming market, but it creates, on the one hand, new opportunities for content distribution and responds to audience expectations, and on the other hand, it creates additional opportunities for content monetisation. The purpose of this article is to illustrate a new trend in the way both content is distributed and created in the streaming services space. For the purposes of this analysis, it was hypothesized that in the streaming industry, ad-supported services and scheduled live programming are gaining in popularity and constitute a significant alternative to existing business models. Therefore, the article is a review and is based on the analysis of available reports, practical studies, as well as expert statements. Moreover, the author’s intention is to indicate the directions and areas of changes that will become part of the Polish media landscape in the near future.
