 Analysis of where is best to publish animated series: focus on the television industry

Chapter 1:

Broadcasting is the traditional way of consuming television; a 20th-century invention (Anthony, 2017). Animated series 'cartoons' first traditionally began on broadcasted television, in the same century as live-television. 'Flintstones', the first primetime-cartoon to be aired was broadcasted 1960 on ABC Television network (USA) (Guinness World Records, 1960). 'Television' (both live-action and animated) however, within the 21st century, has bloomed from broadcasted networks and cable into a variety of new ways to access and exhibit tv shows, such as on-demand content, streaming and internet services.

1.2 Is there a future for the Tv industry?

New media and technologies has made the entertainment industry question the viability of Tv. There is uncertainty if the industry is going to continue to survive or die out (Adalian and Maria Elena Fernandez, 2016). A worry for new creatives, and those already in the industry. 

However, creatives should not fear changes but adjust with change.

No damage to the industry is likely to happen, but change is a given. From its beginning in 1926 (the first public demonstration of television) it continuously has been revisioned. Tv went through many advancements, such as the evolution of tv transmission in the 20th century; Great advancements such as; telephone lines to electronic images recording, from transmission to transatlantic satellites, to digital TV (National Science and Media Museum, 2011). 'Tv' has a correlation of its technology adapting, and despite all the technology progression, its popularity continued to grow through the century. Instead of dying, it thrived. 

Tv has surfed not only the waves of changes of technology, but also the change of economics. The financing of tv has also had a pattern of changes. In the past financing was accumulated through weekly payments (The List Love, 2014) financing changed when the BBC started earning funding by annual Tv licenses (BBC Press Office, 2015), and other channels such as ITV earned money from brands buying advertising slots.

'digital revolution' of the 21st-century broadcast television is not just surviving change; it is adapting for modern audiences. Betterments such as; 'Freeview free to air digital terrestrial television', 'HDTV', internet services that shows previously aired shows and '3DTV channels' (National Science and Media Museum, 2011). 

Although the UK switched off all analogue terrestrial television (National Science and Media Museum, 2011), broadcasted televisions has continued to remain in the 21st century, in a modern adaption. Broadcast television consists of both satellite and cable transmissions (Musburger and Kindem, 2009, p.8), however, can now be accessed by BBC Iplayer, an internet service, that gives access to shows after they have broadcasted (National Science and Media Museum, 2011) 

watchable on multiple devices: such as the televisions, computers, mobiles.

According to the Government, any tv programs watched on tv or BBC programs attended or downloaded online need to be covered by a tv license (BBC Press Office, 2015) conceivably deeming these type of plans as broadcasted tv. 

However, Orlebar, J. (2011) argues that technology only changes viewing habits and content.
