Is TV the next big investment frontier?

jim-samsonCable television has some chinks in its armor. That much is now more certain than ever.

And now that more and more chinks are becoming bigger and bigger, the TV-watching landscape is rapidly becoming a battleground of innovation and new services.

How can YOU capitalize from this changing terrain?

If you pay for cable television, you are inevitably paying for channel after channel that you never really watch. In fact, most people only watch somewhere around 30% of the cable channels they pay for.

When you think about that, it’s not hard to realize why TV is turning into the “Wild West” of entertainment.

And one of the newest things to hit this scene is Sling TV from DISH Network (DISH).

For the first time ever through Sling TV, big-name programming like Disney and ESPN are now available to be streamed over the Internet without requiring you to have any subscription to cable television.

There are already platforms through which programs such as ESPN could be viewed by way of Internet streaming, like Watch ESPN. However, those platforms always forced you to enter your cable TV subscription info for access. This TV-watching paradigm looks to be quickly becoming an old-fashioned idea.

As of now, the basic Sling TV package is $20 with add-ons available, such as a sports package and kids package.

For any good profit hunter, this means more than just a new option by which to watch TV…This could mean that brand new opportunities may be arising through which the smart investors can profit.

It appears that this just the very beginning of a potentially vastly changing industry. That’s why I’ll be keeping an eye on the newest innovations and services for watching TV, as well as the best opportunities to profit from such changes.
